Your memory plays tricks on you. Nothing is as it seems. It wasn't meant to turn out like this. Just try to keep a grip.
lyrics
Woke up this morning, a plane's gone down,
no explanation, echo, sight or sound,
radio silence, the black box can't be found
just speculation, suspicions that compound,
I've got the Midas Touch, but in reverse,
all that is gold turns to dust, or worse.
No black and no white, just shades of grey,
all traces disappear, impressions fade,
no colors, just a thousand shades of grey,
nothing left, no way out, just fade away.
Another day dawns, shapes start to form,
a glass half-full, hoar frost on the lawn,
radio static, conclusions can't be drawn,
am I still dreaming, or have I been reborn,
Well nothing ever goes as planned, that much is true,
if I could only understand what to do.
No black and no white, just shades of grey,
all traces disappear, impressions fade,
no colors, just a thousand shades of grey,
nothing left, no way out, just fade away.
Don't fade away.
Hold it back, save it up, for a rainy day.
Don't let it fade away. Don't fade away.
