Everything Costs
Dreams like coins down a wellTill I realized I was dumb for believingTo the bird with no flightThe skies don't ever offer respite
So I wandered offAnd went to fill the holes in my shadowBut everything costsProof is etched into the back
I heard you say that you've lostYou've lost you've lost you've lost your wayBut I don't think you had much to loseThat house was never built for youAnd I ain't gonna hang my head for them, for themAnd I ain't gonna let them paint the truth as sinAnd I ain't gonna tell you it's okay when at the end of the day
You were just something in my mindA face pressed into your handsCouldn't tell if you were crying or laughingThey both sound the sameWhen you ain't got no skin in the game
So I took up the fightAnd the rolling in my head was like thunderTill I uncurled my fistsAnd allowed myself to not give a damn
I heard you say that we've lostWe've lost we've lost we've lost our wayBut I don't think we had much to loseThat path was never built for usAnd I ain't gonna hang my head for them, for themAnd I ain't gonna let them paint the truth as sinAnd I ain't gonna tell you it's okay when at the end of the dayWe were just something in my mind
