your silver-blue haired friend once said
the feelings you have for me are dead
they slip and fall and fade away
they age your mind and turn you grey
so feel the pain, i’ll feel your fire
save my soul, kill the desire
i’ll take these thoughts to my grave
they age my mind and turn me grey

oh how they turn me grey
so take me kill me leave me hold me
life must once or twice be lonely

so as you look out to the moon
and sing as though i can hear you
you realize i’m far away
i age your mind and turn you grey
i’m mostly numb but i can feel
the haunting thoughts i know are real
i’ll sift around another day
as my mind ages and i turn grey

oh how they turn me grey
so take me kill me leave me hold me
life must once or twice be lonely

your silhouette is teasing me
your horrid words are freezing me
i’ll keep your violent stings at bay
as my mind ages and i turn grey
the fear i felt about you flies
as i wave my heartache goodbye
i feel the price i have to pay
it aged my mind and turned me grey

oh how they turn me grey
so take me kill me leave me hold me
life must once or twice be lonely

the lights will flicker off and on
as time goes by and i get strong
the feelings come to me in waves
they age my mind and turn me grey
the words you said are all locked up
the joy of pain the sting of love
the body echoes through my brain
it ages my mind and turns me grey

oh how they turn me grey
so take me kill me leave me hold me
life must once or twice be lonely

so if you call out or if you weep
that’s the treasure that i seek
but maybe this is all in vain
you age my mind and turn me grey
feel the lack of harmony
it brings you down onto your knees
these bitter thoughts they do remain
as your mind ages and they turn you grey

oh how they turn me grey
so take me kill me leave me hold me
life must once or twice be lonely

a falling out of two dear friends
surely this must be the end
water slipping through the drain
age my mind and turn me grey
never gone but never here
sunrise points to all my fears
can i walk through your domain
if my mind ages and i turn grey

oh how they turn me grey
so take me kill me leave me hold me
life must once or twice be lonely

the coldest night in wintertime
is all year round in my mind
the mountain tops and rough terrain
will age my mind and turn me grey
i cannot sleep if there’s no sound
the bitter thoughts, they must be drowned
i will dream if they’re contained
but my mind ages and i turn grey

oh how they turn me grey
so take me kill me leave me hold me
life must once or twice be lonely

now your silver-blue haired friend told you
the secret of your inner truth
the body warps, disintegrates
your mind ages and turns you grey
a pointless death, a silent nod
the thoughtless mind, the teeth of God
the years i wasted in the rain
will age my mind and turn me grey

oh how they turn me grey
so take me kill me leave me hold me
life must once or twice be lonely
