under these grey skies
underneath dark eyes
he can only pretend

what path should he take
when he follows his faith

chasing off bullets
that he can't see
fighting off people
that he'll never be

under clouds of rain
summer comes to end
and he can just pretend

that there's something important
that he still believes

chasing a rainbow
that he can not see
fighting off expectations
that he'll never meet

under these grey skies
underneath fake smiles

dark eyes that see through the rain
seek warm hands that can feel all the pain

chasing off bullets
that he can't see
fighting off people
that he'll never be

chasing the sunsets
inside himself
finding a pathway
to become someone else

under these grey skies
underneath these lies
he can only pretend...
