Looking into my reflection
searching for perfection
found things I needed to say
lately I find myself feeling
caught between Red and Grey
colors of Anger and Dismay
Living my life this way
don't you patronize
don't underestimate
I've been Crucified
I've been Demonized
caught between Red and Grey
no way to live a life
I say
Never finding my place
just another dude in the multitude
two minutes of fortitude
no hesitation
going to proliferate
UmmmmHHHH
Caught between Red and Grey
see me dying today
point your finger my way
shove me where I belong
don't you feel so strong
UmmmmHHHH
Between Red and Grey
~
Between Red and Grey
Won't you go away
leave me here to stay
rotting in my own decay
Fear not my friends
these feelings I internalize
never one to sermonize
UmmmmHHHH
best you believe it
listen to what I say
I'm just an angry young man
living life his own way
between Red and Grey
death will come my way
it's the end of days.
UmmmmHHHH
Caught Between Red and Grey

Caught Between Red and Grey

Hi Rose, well it is a song to reflect that I also enjoy some hardcore music too... But I am not that angry in real life, just don't let on that I am a big softy to the others ok?
LOL
