Grey Area



Grey Area

Don’t forget duality
For this is true reality
It isn’t one or the other
But one in each other
I don’t see black or white
But I see what’s wrong and right
Dual is the rule
So don’t be a tool
Lying in the chest
Unaware like the rest
Stand up and be the best
Rise up and take the test

People may laugh and talk
But the middle
Is the path that I walk
Cause Id rather not choose a side
Meet me at the center
I’m standing at the divide
Like the change in the tides
People start taking sides
Seems extreme everywhere I go
All the people that I know
Cause sometimes
We don’t know what to be
But don’t climb up a tree
Don’t hide in a cave
Captured by our own mind
Don’t become your own slave
