Gray hopelessness surrounds me
Red fire burns within the soul
Can’t I make you finally see?
We hide our hearts in a deep hole

These grays press me down
Gray pushes me to the brink
For a brief time, my fire drowns
My essence begins to sink

I smell the rotting gray I become
Burning the senses into nothing
My senses fight back some
A mud-covered friend came clinching

They near and I revive in colour
Tell me of their venture into dirt
Saw me falter under gray lure
Show me their gift wrapped in shirt

This prize emitted a red hue
I could make a new start
There’s nothing I cannot do
I now possess my own heart
