Woke up to a pale gray morning Gray bed, gray room, gray me And it took a hundred deep breaths For my eyes to see The blue, the red, ‘cause my head Was telling lies again
Woke up staring at the ceiling To a stale cold noon And it took a hundred deep breaths To mute down the gray tune The silent words With weight of worlds That said I was to blame
Woke up to a scary evening Trapped inside my head And it took a hundred deep breaths To cut apart the thread That choked my throat With lines I wrote Of guilt and hate and shame
Woke up with this red-blue feeling Mixed all up in gray And with each one of the deep breaths I unmixed them again See red, feel blue But every hue Makes me who I am
