Only yesterday, I told myself that life is grey Didnât make me sad Made me feel human.
Only yesterday, I told myself that love is green Greener than the trees Growing in my bedroom Made me want to lose myself, lose myself In a song about the sun Or the many things That I donât understand Like I did since I was young Made me want to open doors, sleep on floors In a world outside your door Watch a movie, play some piano, write a sonnet Build an army Letâs build an army Now will you love me ? Letâs build an army.
Only yesterday,
I realised that tall, dark tomb Punctuates the sky A giantâs exclamation. Shame on our beloved nation The codes we send as ash into the sky Or sorrow cure me From tiny glories Now dig for beauty And build an army Letâs build an army Now will you love me ? Then build an army.
The truth is life is grey The truth is times are strange The truth is Iâm OK And youâre beautiful The truth is life is grey
The truth is times are strange The truth is Iâm OK And youâre beautiful [x6]
