Gray is the color of my walls
And the sound of the bars they claim
Gray is my understudied memories
And the taste of the waters we drink

You don't care right now, but you will
When you open your eyes
See gray ceilings over memories
Without the sun to shine onto you

Little brother, please
Live for me
Under the unfenced moon
Little brother, please
Don't follow me down
Into the cold gray

Too many times I was a fool
Wanted respect
Trying to play cool
Too many times
That I threw away for good
Too many times
I'll never have again

[julian casablancas]
Put a man inside a fortress
I'm free, with no queen
With no ability to dream, no dreams
And I'm no conformist
With no verse and no choice
Or let his dreams become a void and a voice
You don't care right now
But you'll show it
When it's too late
For you to go back on your will

Little brother, please
Live for me
Under the unfenced moon
Little brother, please
Don't follow me down
Into the cold gray

Too many times I was a fool
Wanted respect
Trying to play cool
Too many times
That I threw away for good
Too many times
I'll never get again
