lyrics

Of seven shades of shame
Six of them are grey
Five of them I loaned to a friend
Four came back the same

I'm filling up with Blue…floating out of range
I know you'd like the view. From the far side of the Blue
(Suffer us a skin too few)

There's many ways to leave
Mostly after dark
One of them imposed on a friend
Still they made their mark

Chorus

There could be other ways
A way for us to stay
Can I move apart from myself ?
and ride a bigger wave

Chorus

Of seven shades of pain
Six of them are gone
One of them I saved for myself
Just to carry on.

Chorus
