Closer To Gray Lyrics - Rev - Ten Foot Pole

Clawing his way out of the doldrums 

Getting sick and tired of coke and rums 

We'll just have to wait and see 

Because he's jumped on the wagin before 

Only to crawl and beg for more 

His pride is just another casuality 

His pride is just another casuality 

Can you see beyond today's euphoric state? 

Do you remember how you'll feel tomorrow? 

All the people that you hate 

All the times you've had to wait 

Every piece of food you ever ate 

Reminds you of your fate 

He's clawing his way out of a paper bag 

Reaching for the life that he never had 

And he's just one step away 

He's going backwards on a two track 

He's going one step forward and two steps back 

Getting closer to gray 

In the end there's only grieving 

All his goals inside pulled thin air 

Can you blame him if he's desperate? 

There's nothing left for him to get 

And he dosen't care that the people stare 

And they do fucking stare
