If I'm on my knees

It's all gray to me

But it's all gray here
A A D D
But it's all gray here
A A F#m F#m
It's all gray to me

F#m F#m :
I recognize the walls inside
I recognize them all
I've paced between them
Chasing demons down
Until they fall
In fitful sleep
Enough to keep their strength
Enough to crawl
Into my head
With tangled threads
They riddle me to solve
