Title: Grey Street - Album Version
Why: It might be the song I think is the closest to being 
perfect for Faith, it's so gritty and beautiful and expresses this 
deep pain and longing for a real existence a lifetime away 
from this one.

Title: Grey Street - Live Version
Why: It might be the song I think is the closest to being 
perfect for Faith, it's so gritty and beautiful and expresses this 
deep pain and longing for a real existence a lifetime away 
from this one. This version's lyrics are more appropriate for 
Faith.
Lyrics
Oh look at how she listens
But she says nothing of what she thinks
She just goes stumbling through her memories
Staring out onto Grey Street

She thinks, "Hey, how did I come to this?"
"I've dreamed myself a million times around the world,"
"But I can't climb out of this place."

Now, there's an lonliness inside her
And she'd do anything to fill it in,
But all the colors mix together to grey.

And it breaks her heart.

Sometimes she wishes it was different,
She prays to God most every  night
Though she knows well he doesn't listen,
There's still a hope in her he might

She says, "I pray to you,"
"But my prayers, they fall on deaf ears!"
"Am I supposed to take it on myself"
"To get out of this place?"

Oh, there's a emptiness inside her,
And she'd do anything to fill it in.
And though it's red blood bleeding from her now,
It felt like cold blue ice in her heart.
When all the colors mixed  mixed together to grey.

And it breaks her heart. 
And it breaks her heart.
And it breaks her heart.

She hear's the voices, there outside her door,
Oh, he grows up living
He says take what you can from your dreams
Make them real as anything
It takes the work out of the courage

She said, please,
There’s a crazy man creeping outside my door
I live on the corner of a Grey Street
At the end of the world.

Oh, there's an emptiness inside her,
And she'd do anything to fill it in.
And though it's red blood bleeding from her now,
It felt like cold blue ice in her heart.

She feels like kicking out all the windows
And setting fire to this life,
She would change everything about her
Using colors, bold and bright!

When all the colors mixed  mixed together to grey.

And it breaks her heart. 
And it breaks her heart.
And it breaks her heart.

Oh, there's an emptiness inside her,
And she'd do anything to fill it in.
And though it's red blood bleeding from her now,
It felt like cold blue ice in her heart.

She feels like kicking out all the windows
And setting fire to this life,
She would change everything about her
Using colors, bold and bright!
But all the colors mixed together to grey.
