The Walls Are Grey and That's How They'Ll Stay

"The walls are grey and that's how they'll stay" That's all he has to say His eyes have darkened, his soul has aged Being locked up so long in his concrete cage His mind has found its own ground on which to live Away from life, choosing not to live The repentant man always on his knees But repentant he ain't as he don't want to live The only thing he sees in the dark of night Is the little girls eyes full of fear and fright As he mowed her down in his car that night The photos the parents brought to the police one night Of a beautiful little girl at a friends party earlier that night A smile so bright and full of life In an instant gone....because he drank that night "The walls are grey and that's how they'll stay" That's all he has to say.
