Song11 - Gray

This song is the weakest of the three. (I spent a lot more time on Remnant and it shows)

I have had the music for this kicking around for quite a while. I had had big plans for it coming in to FAWM, which just shows that the best laid plans... Please look past the many imperfections and try to see the musical "core" of the song.

My voice isn't anywhere near what it should be, thanks to being sick. When I wrote the song, I could sing it with no difficulty, but you wouldn't believe how much this song physically hurt me to sing tonight. I ask for your extra indulgence on the vocals.

The most interesting thing is how things are working now in my frazzled little brain, I'll probably come out of February with more incomplete scraps than I went in with.

LYRICS

Gray

Pull me out
Yes pull me out
This choking smoke
reeks of doubt
I don't know what I'm doing here
I know I don't belong here

confusion running
I saw it coming
I tried to dodge it
I'm not that cunning
someone get me out of here
I know I don't belong here

(chorus)
I can choose my own way
Amidst the gray
in black and white
I can choose
my day or night

The compass spins
blown with the winds
when the wheel is stopped
no one wins
suddenly your course is clear
You're on your way out of here

I know this phrase
it's packed full of gray
I can't see you in the haze
But I'll keep going anyway

you say left
and I say right
And here we sit
and here we fight
we'll stay right here with our own light
we each have our own sight

Freedom
(I Believe)
is what you make it
