Gray Life

Gray sky… Gray streets… Gray faces passing me… And I keep walking. Though I don't know where. The alarm screams, another day, I open my eyes — the same old dream again. Coffee on the run, eyes looking down, The city is already waiting, a concrete table. The same faces, the same words, Everyone is chasing something, no one knows where. Time eats life, minute after minute, And people laugh while drowning in sadness. How many more days like this? How many more empty moments? Is there still something for me Beneath this gray sky? Gray life! — but I don't want to fade! Gray life! — I won't let myself fall asleep! Though concrete is crushing me down, I've still got fire, I've still got rage! Gray life! — but my heart still beats! Gray life! — and I'm still alive! Let the world crash, let the walls break, I'll rise again from these ruins! Work, bills, phone, screen, Everyone wants more, but I just want to breathe. The hours run away like lights along the road, Yesterday was close, today it's already around the corner. They say, "That's how it has to be," "That's just life," So I grit my teeth and walk into the dawn. But somewhere inside me lives that kid Who still believed the world would never sell him out. How many more days like this? How many more empty moments? Is there still something for me Where I can find myself? Gray life! — but I don't want to fade! Gray life! — I won't let myself fall asleep! Though concrete is crushing me down, I've still got fire, I've still got rage! Gray life! — but my heart still beats! Gray life! — and I'm still alive! Let the world crash, let the walls break, I'll rise again from these ruins! Sometimes I look in the mirror — I don't recognize the face, Where did all my dreams disappear? Once I wanted to touch the stars, Today I just want to survive another day. But at night, when the city falls silent, I hear a voice that cannot be silenced. It says, "Get up. It's not over yet. It's your life — take it into your own hands." I'm not a shadow! I'm not a number! I'm not a machine! I'm not a wall! I'm still breathing! I'm still feeling! I've still got a voice! I'm still fighting! So fuck the system that tells me to stay silent, Fuck the masks and the fake faces. I won't pretend that everything is fine When there's been a fire burning inside me for so long. I don't need gold, I don't need fame, I only want a piece of truth and a little courage. If life is gray — I'll paint it myself, Even if all that's left of me is a mark. Gray life! — but I don't want to fade! Gray life! — I won't let myself fall asleep! Though concrete is crushing me down, I've still got fire, I've still got rage! Gray life! — but my heart still beats! Gray life! — and I'm still alive! Let the world crash, let the walls break, I'll rise again from these ruins! Gray sky… Gray streets… But my heart… Is not gray. I'M STILL ALIVE!
