careful gaze - greyed lyrics

i tried my whole life to be you
i bled but in different colors
i tried to find words to tell you
i’m not the same as the others
i tried my whole life to be you
i bled but in different colors
i tried to find words to tell you
i’m not the same as the others
(everything has been desaturated)
i wrote the songs that you wanted
i burned the ones that i needed
(i’m starting to see in color again)
they told me to talk about it
when i was hurt i retreated

we can talk about this over the music, or we could not
i know i wasn’t the best child for you
i was a sh-tty person too
but when i’m done turning into this work of art
i hope you still appreciate me

i tried my whole life to be you
being a clone isn’t special
i kept your spirit’s appearance
my body turned into rubble
i built the clone that you wanted
our playdates empty and quiet
night walks becoming our outlet
floodwaters turning to blankets
(i made you something, i hope you like it)
i left the clone that you asked for
on gravel roads in the summer
(if you still love me, i think you’ll love it)
it only surfaced on sundays
nothing they said made it better

appreciate me

i will bless and brush this barren canvas with hope and hues that make a difference
whatever other people expect me to be is going to have to be shelved for a minute – no – a lifetime
this life is mine and from now on i will live it to make both you and i proud
that colorless clone sank into the bottom of a gray paint can and that is where we’ll bury him

i tried my whole life to be you
being a clone isn’t special
