ANOTHER SHADE OF GRAY

(written by Randy Kartchner & Kenneth Cope)

 

Great aspirations, and victims to take the bait

Sly fabrications – deception has lost its shame

And greed has taken over – no room for sympathy

The truth should make you sober

But you twist it as you please

 

The thrill is intoxicating

There’s no thought of turning back

You’re after someone till someone’s caught in the trap

 

CHORUS:

Oh, first a promise made

Oh, then a heart betrayed

Oh, till the light of day’s

Just another shade of gray

 

Where is the mercy – where is the heart that feels

Why crush another to fashion your own of steel

We all knew the same beginnings

Yes, you once were flesh and blood

So turn from this treason, or you’ll end up the desperate one

 

REPEAT CHORUS

 

It’s growin’ darker now

Shadows that won’t go away

 

REPEAT CHORUS
