graying Songtext
von Hikes feat. Atlys String Quartet

Heard they threw a party for ya
Even filled up balloons in your arteries
To keep you from being a memory
And Ma colored her hair
But I could hear her feet spin in the plastic wheel
Of a cold IV
Just graying, just aging
Do you remember when you told me
Someday I would miss the small things?
Somedays come too soon


Would you miss all you wanted to see in me?
Heard you giving up on Christmas
You kept filling your glass as an effigy
You had meant to outlast and pass down to me
So Ma colored her world in your reveries
Like watered down ideals, fleeting entropy
Are we waiting?
Am I waiting?
Do you remember when you told me
I could be anything I want to?
