The Cost of Living
Fast asleep
Still counting the countless sheep
They'll sweep the rug from beneath your feet
A sense of impending doom
As we all ignore the
Mammoth in the room
The clocks turn upside down
The Jesters snicker
And a sad clown's frown
When all is said and done
This new life will cost you your old one
Nowhere to run
Engulfed by the sun
Beating my head against the wall
Watching the pieces fall
Perfectly into
Place
Blind
To the sun we've been gazing into
Incentivized
To abandon what we know to be true
And when all is said and done
This life will cost you your old one
To come undone
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain
Ask no further questions
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain
Ask no further questions
The cost of living the dream
Reality frayed at the seam
Distracted by our screens
Pink elephant stampede
Drowning in distraction
A coward's paradise
Willful ignorance
Comes at a price
Drowning in distraction
A coward's paradise
Willful ignorance
Comes at a price
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain
Ask no further questions
The cost of living the dream
Reality frayed at the seam
Distracted by our screens
Pink elephant stampede
Still counting the countless sheep
They'll sweep the rug from beneath your feet
A sense of impending doom
As we all ignore the
Mammoth in the room
The clocks turn upside down
The Jesters snicker
And a sad clown's frown
When all is said and done
This new life will cost you your old one
Nowhere to run
Engulfed by the sun
Beating my head against the wall
Watching the pieces fall
Perfectly into
Place
Blind
To the sun we've been gazing into
Incentivized
To abandon what we know to be true
And when all is said and done
This life will cost you your old one
To come undone
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain
Ask no further questions
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain
Ask no further questions
The cost of living the dream
Reality frayed at the seam
Distracted by our screens
Pink elephant stampede
Drowning in distraction
A coward's paradise
Willful ignorance
Comes at a price
Drowning in distraction
A coward's paradise
Willful ignorance
Comes at a price
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain
Ask no further questions
The cost of living the dream
Reality frayed at the seam
Distracted by our screens
Pink elephant stampede
