Seven ticks to eight o'clock

He rumbles down the stairs

Mother's cooking in her kitchen

Father's in his chair

The headline on the front page reads, "The Sun's Coming Out Today."

Shining down in perfect streaks

It's anywhere USA…

He remembers when his life was perfect. His mom would be up making him and his brother breakfast. His dad would be in his arm chair with a guitar in his hand just strumming along to a beat. His brother would be getting his things ready for school. It all seemed perfect. Too perfect.

With eyes wide open

The sky is always a thousand shades of blue

Partly broken, lost and lonely

We're all just shades of you…

He would get his backpack with all his books inside, ready to start a new day at school. Him and Zack would walk to the bus stop. They both loved how in the spring and fall it'd be nice and sunny out. The sky a perfect shade of blue. Nothing could go wrong.

Can't you hear the school bells singing

Hurry don't be late

Wondering the crowded hallways

Searching for his place

The writing on the chalkboard reads, "Who will be king this year?"

And even though he raised his hand

No knows he's there…

But that perfect life didn't last forever. Soon Zack and Cody's parents were divorced and them and their mom were living in the Tipton Hotel. Zack seemed to flow with it but Cody seemed to live in the shadows. He wished his past would come back. He didn't really have friends or fit in. He was more of the so-called "geek". His brother was popular and laid back. No one seemed to notice that Zack even had a twin.

With arms wide open

His life's becoming a thousand shades of blue

Partly hopeless

Don't you notice

We're all just shades of you…

When school was over Cody decided to head to the hotel pool. When he got there he wasn't so surprised to see London on a float with her little white dog on her lap. Cody put his stuff down on a chair then just dived in. London had noticed the big splash of water. She looked down in the water to see Cody swimming like a fish.

And he let the water run too deep

Then he just slowly slipped on in

And when he finds the nerve to breathe

All they say is no one saw it coming…

But suddenly Cody seemed to be just lying there. He was lifeless, just floating. But he was face down. "Cody! Cody! Oh my god someone call 911!" screamed London.

Hear the sirens

The cops arriving

A thousand shades of blue

But it's hopeless

No one noticed

We're all just shades of you

With eyes wide open

They found him floating

A thousand shades of blue

There's no escaping where he's going

We're all just shades of you…

The medics finally arrived. They took Cody's lifeless body to the hospital. Of course Zack was worried. Was it suicide? Was it an accident? Did he do it purposely? His brother was pale and tears were coming out of Zack's eyes. "Why would he do that? Why?"
