Grey Video (MV)

I thought we'd had enough of stretched-out spaces
Seeing the shape of footprints in puddles and worms
I fear the loss of afternoons in perfect silence
And all of the familiar scents of home
The chain pulled tight around my throat
Now all I hear are cries for home
Each of us a broken vessel
The chain pulled tight around my throat
Now all I hear are cries for home
In every hallway
The girl in the front seat had eyes like silver dollars
Catching rays of streetlight
Smiling shy and wide
Just like her father
We used to drive for hours saying nothing
I'd just glance at her every now and again
Only to flash my teeth and turn quickly back to the open window
As soon as she'd return the look
I see her now, in the driver's seat as always
But this time there is no light in her eyes
Her smile faded, and so did I
I always thought I'd die at home
I see her now, but the color's fading
I never thought that I would die alone
But the color's fading
And I faced the gate
Trembling, but ready to face the pain
And I played the chase
For one last time, to feel alive again
Their faces framed in fleeting sadness
As they walked me toward the door at the end
I call out to her in the darkness
The color's fading
As they walk me to the door at the end
If I could see you again
If I could even speak
I'd tell you I've grown complacent with the loneliness
And even though I've managed to slide my guts back into place
Your hand still clenches onto something soft inside me
Nails dug deep
Like a bit of skin caught in the chain
And though the pain is numbing
I'm too afraid to tear away completely
For fear of leaving a piece of me behind
This cage is my deathbed
And even though you'll go on to forget and replace me
You truly were my everything
My entire life
A bit of that old light crept into my eyes for a moment
As a familiar scent from home drifted by
But it was just a memory
The bone that you gave me
I hold fast to the hope that you left me
Only because you had to
And not because this body has failed
The both of us
