One Shade Away 

Verse 1 

Look around at the status quo 

The eager hustle, to jump out of the flow 

See their smiles, things aren’t what they seem 

Judgement’s quite apparent if you know what I mean 

Never good enough to walk through that door 

But for some stupid reason I keep comin’ back for more 

 

Chorus 

One shade (One shade) 

One shade away 

Livin’ life in the grey 

One shade (One shade) 

One shade away 

Tell me who gets a say 

We’re stuck in the balance 

Cause we’re just one shade away 

 

Verse 2 

Your moral compass has no place in here 

You tell yourself, there’s nothing to fear 

Try so hard to fit the mold 

Before you know it, your souls already sold 

Saving tiny pebbles in your house of glass 

But you won’t see it coming when they, kick your ass 

 

Chorus 

One shade (One shade) 

One shade away 

Livin’ life in the grey 

One shade (One shade) 

One shade away 

Tell me who gets a say 

We’re stuck in the balance 

Cause we’re just one shade away 

 

Bridge 

Little too black, little too white 

Little too wrong, little too right 

Little too left, little to right 

Little too loose, little too tight 

It doesn’t seem to matter 

We’re just one, one shade away 

 

Chorus 

One shade (One shade) 

One shade away 

Livin’ life in the grey 

One shade (One shade) 

One shade away 

Tell me who gets a say 

We’re stuck in the balance 

Cause we’re just one shade away
