Grey and Shiny

lyrics to one of my latest favourite creations.

take a walk with me,
through the grey and shiny,
tell me what do you see
but the melancholy?

tears on old mens faces,
signs to so many places,
out of here.
look at people down your nose
wearing only designer label clothes.
but honestly that says nothing about your soul..
that says nothing about your soul..

take a walk with me,
through the grey and shiny.
tell me what do you see, but the greyyy?
but the melancholy?
melancholy?!
golly!

hes' use to the pattern the repeat phase
she may feel its demeaning but the money pays
he may not have a way with words
but their lives are as is though caged like birds.
afraid to stretch, think out side the square
wanting change but cant handle difference there.
forgetting their past and who they use to be
once full of great dreams they no longer see..
once full of great dreams they no longer see.....

take a walk with me,
through the grey and shiny,
tell me what do you see?
please tell me,
what do you see?


this is my grey and shiny city:

i figure it seems such a contrast. big skyscrapers and then these gross, abandoned buildings.
they actually sit on the skirt of this big desolate hole in the centre of the city. its odd.

such a contrast, symbolic? see it how u wish,
oddly beautiful i thought.
