The struggles of trying to fit in

lyrics

Five Shades Of Black by Ed E

He wore five Shades of Black
wore Shadows on his sleeve
you're never sure when he'll stand up
and hand you grief

his friends knew him as Angus
I called him Alex all the same
he was on edge underneath his skin
he unzipped his sweatshirt - he just couldn't wait

he wore five Shades of Black
just trying to blend in
he didn't want violence
but that's a real thin dream

he always thought he'd be accepted
he thought he always have a place to go
always thought he'd have a way to get there oh yeah
but there's what you think and what you can never know

he wore five Shades black
wore Shadows on his sleeve
he's weary restless ghost
he's thirsty he's a beast

5 Shades of Black - 5 Shades of Black
