[Verse] Every room holds a ghost of a different time Echoes of laughter and reason and rhyme We were built in the middle of noise and grace Trying to love in a complicated place [Chorus] It's never black and white, it's shades of gray The demons and the angels in the disarray Mom and dad with their heavy, loving hands Trying to build us up the best they can And the trauma bonds tighter than the skin can hold Worth more than silver, heavier than gold [Verse] I smile at the ceiling when the memory plays Reliving the pieces of my younger days Guilt in the quiet, shame in the smile Sitting alone with the thoughts for a while [Chorus] It's never black and white, it's shades of gray The demons and the angels in the disarray Mom and dad with their heavy, loving hands Trying to build us up the best they can And the trauma bonds tighter than the skin can hold Worth more than silver, heavier than gold [Outro] Comfort and fear Both can be true Just a child in the chaos Just trying to get through (Fade to quiet piano chords)
