Lyrics
Every morning I wake up lonely
hit the floor holding on to all I can recall
days of smoke and fire
in the background of some dreams I've had
Everynight I don't come home
fall asleep in some empty arms
I think I'm falling, wasting in this time
in the background of some dreams I've had
Pictures of some friends I've lost are falling fromt heir frames
I'm thinking of their sweetest gifts
and their fading to grey
are they gone, given up for dead
standing on their knees, only living in my head
maybe I won't miss them, see them fade away
everything their taking with them
fading to grey
every morning I don't come home
fall asleep insome empty room
I think I'm falling
wasted all the time
in the background of some dreams I have
pictures of some friends I've lost now falling from their frames
all the things we left unsaid
fading away
are they gone, given up for dead
standing on their knees, living in my head
maybe I won't miss them, see them slip away
everything they're taking with them
fading to grey
pictures of some friends I've lost
gone from their frames
faces I just can't recall
they;re faded away
are they gone, given up for dead
standing on their knees, only living in my head
sometimes I wonder where they are today
can't see them anymore cause I'm
fading to grey
