Gray - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Track marks on your arms. old tattoos and scars

When you gonna learn to hang it up?

Your're in the saddle once again, it's gettin' hard to pretend

The past holds all the blame for your bad luck

I wish that you could see what I know you could be

It's hard to watch, but I can't look away

When we both were young [] knows we had our fun

But aren't you tired of fadin' into grey?

Another New Year's Eve spent rollin' up your sleeve

Tradin' in tomorrow for today

In those old game of roulette you've nothin' more but life to bet

So roll the dice and hope that you get to stay

I wish that you could see what I know you could be

It's hard to watch, but I can't look away

When we both were young [] knows we had our fun

But aren't you tired of fadin' into grey?

Your mother lives alone, your brothers have all grown

Your sneakin' in it scares you half to death

But she still takes care of you, she lets you sleep and brings you food

Her hair more grey with every shallow breath

I wish that you could see what I know you could be

It's hard to watch, but I can't look away

When we both were young [] knows we had our fun

But aren't you tired of fadin' into grey?

Aren't you tired of fadin' into grey?
