gray sky pearl - d.l.b_11sixmusic lyrics
[intro]
gray never meant the light was gone
some skies still shine while they’re hurting
some clouds hold color where n0body looks
some children do too
before the world teaches them to hide it
(rivyr’s messing with them drums again)
[chorus]
gray sky pearl
little boy with the whole wide world
laugh too loud till they made that hurt
now you hide that light in a stained shirt
gray sky pearl
i can see you but i can’t go back
i can dream it but i can’t feel that
you was happy before life got bad
gray sky pearl…
[verse 1] (d.l.b)
i seen mysеlf young with a smile on my face
didn’t know rent didn’t know gravеs
didn’t know love could turn you cold
didn’t know friends could switch when you low
back when jokes came easy out my mouth
back when home still felt like a house
back when i laughed and ain’t check the room
back when happy ain’t feel like doom
i stare at that picture like tell me the truth
what happened between me and you
you looked alive in a way i forgot
i got older and the whole world got hot
i ain’t mad at you i’m mad we got robbed
mad i had to grow t**th where the smile got lost
mad every soft thing got treated like weak
mad i hear your laugh and it don’t sound like me
i was just a kid with too much light
then they made that sh*t feel wrong every night
every man up hit like a brick to the chest
now i flinch when i feel that boy in my flesh
i ain’t choose cold i learned how to move
had joy in my hands till they made me prove
if surviving was a class i passed too well
now i look like me but i don’t feel myself
[chorus]
gray sky pearl
little boy with the whole wide world
laugh too loud till they made that hurt
now you hide that light in a stained shirt
gray sky pearl
i can see you but i can’t go back
i can dream it but i can’t feel that
you was soft before the world hit back
gray sky pearl
[verse 2] (melodee synn)
i found a picture of a girl with her knees scr*ped red
hair half done and a smile too big for her head
didn’t know grown hands could make a room feel small
didn’t know locked doors could teach you not to call
back when dolls had names and the floor felt safe
back when tears dried quick and n0body called it brave
back when loud was just loud not a reason to stare
back before i learned to watch every man in the chair
i was eight years old learning how to read moods
who been drinking who been mad who might walk through
mama said be good but good never saved me
i learned how to freeze before the world could name me
pretty came early and it never felt fair
grown eyes on a child made me hate my own hair
school bell rang and i still felt watched
lunch tray full but my stomach stayed locked
i laughed for the picture cause they told me smile
then cried in the bathroom with my feet on the tile
i stopped being little when i still looked small
started carrying secrets i could barely call
so if that girl in the photo ever saw me sing
she might ask why my voice got a blade in the ring
i’d tell her baby i ain’t leave you for dead
i just hid you somewhere they could not get
[chorus]
gray sky pearl
little girl with the whole wide world
laugh too loud till they made that hurt
now i hide that light in a stained shirt
gray sky pearl
i can see you but i can’t go back
i can dream it but i can’t feel that
you was happy before life got bad
gray sky pearl
[verse 3] (d.l.b)
sometimes you come back for a minute or two
i get loud in the room like i got nothing to prove
start laughing too hard like nothing been broke
then somebody look at me like there he go
stop playing be serious you too grown for that
you too damaged you too cold to laugh
so i tuck that spark where the bad sh*t sleep
put my face back flat let the silence eat
like joy was a charge i got caught with
like my own d*mn smile was a problem
that’s how they k!ll kids in men
not one shot just correction again
every little grin get checked by shame
every soft thing get trained to change
if thirteen year old me walked in tonight
he might stare at my chain and not think nice
he might look at my eyes and step back slow
like d*mn is that where i go
would my voice make that little boy shake
would my truth make his whole heart break
would my scars make him lose that grin
would he know i did all this sh*t for him
cause i never wanted to scare you too
i just had to survive what they put us through
had to make every soft spot dangerous
had to learn how to smile like anger does
i ain’t healed i just made it this far
i ain’t cold i’m a kid with defense
i ain’t gone i just don’t know where i went
so come back
when the grey sky split
come back
when my pride can sit
come back
when i stop acting grown
come back
little boy you can still come home
and if they laugh when i let you breathe
f*ck em let em watch me grieve
i lost enough trying to play that part
i want my smile back with my whole d*mn heart
[chorus]
gray sky pearl
little child with the whole wide world
laugh too loud till they made that hurt
now you hide that light in a stained shirt
gray sky pearl
i can see you but i can’t go back
i can dream it but i can’t feel that
you was happy before life got bad
gray sky pearl
