Stepping through the door into the grey
The sunlight is snatched away
And the glumness descends

Miserable faces of miserable people
the mumblings of hopelessness
bubble in my ears


I await the white picket fence
And happy TV families
But they suck me dry instead

These people of misery
This family of "woe is me"
is all I have known

I have withstood the sadness
My laugh is my sanity
My joy is my saviour

But it's time to escape
Before I too am dragged down
Into the greyness they cling to
