yesterday I woke up in a dream
filled with sorrow and painful memories
but I can't remember what it was I'd seen
that made me grab my pen and clue you in
for me there's no relief

chorus
that's why I'm living day to day in a sea of gray
drowning down the pain in a quart of grain
so that's why I have to say I'm sorry in this note I've wrote to you

everybody wants to live a life
full of purpose fulfilling what's required
but I doubt there's any hope I can maintain
the course I'm on is doomed
yet one choice looms
while the world just fades away

[chorus]
that's why I'm living day to day in a sea of gray
drowning down the pain in a quart of grain
so that's why I have to say I'm sorry in this note I've wrote to you

so point of finger pull the trigger say your last goodbye
this time tomorrow no more tears you'll have to cry
smooth the wrinkles on your forehead close your eyes
for those that loved me ease your troubles I'm at peace right now
don't blame yourself the things I go through I keep down
the only way for me to rectify this frown
I'm dead
I'm dead
I'm dead
