The Joneses
I'm going to a funeral today
For somebody who hasn't passed away
But for all intents and purposes
He isn't with us anymore
Disappeared before I could say goodbye
Left in his place a vacant salesman who would only make me cry
Now the lights inside this home, they merely flicker
Not long ago they used to shine
Everyone was looking to The Joneses
But The Joneses were looking at us
Spotlights showcase the main attraction
Now there's nothing to show
Appearances can be deceiving
To the point we believe them ourselves
Load up on lies and cheap deception
In just one moment he became a sad cliche
Turned his back and packed his bags and walked away
His "I Dos" were merely words
And his forevers didn't last for all that long
Sit back, relax, and let the trauma take its toll
Absorb the aftershocks of truth you could not have known
Just close your eyes and pray
That when you wake again the hope won't linger long
Everyone was looking to The Joneses
But The Joneses were looking at us
Spotlights showcase the main attraction
Now there's nothing to show
Appearances can be deceiving
To the point we believe them ourselves
Stop striving for their false perfection
Everyone was looking to The Joneses
Spotlights showcase the main attraction
Now there's nothing to show
Appearances can be deceiving
To the point we believe them ourselves
See past the smiles and pretension
For somebody who hasn't passed away
But for all intents and purposes
He isn't with us anymore
Disappeared before I could say goodbye
Left in his place a vacant salesman who would only make me cry
Now the lights inside this home, they merely flicker
Not long ago they used to shine
Everyone was looking to The Joneses
But The Joneses were looking at us
Spotlights showcase the main attraction
Now there's nothing to show
Appearances can be deceiving
To the point we believe them ourselves
Load up on lies and cheap deception
In just one moment he became a sad cliche
Turned his back and packed his bags and walked away
His "I Dos" were merely words
And his forevers didn't last for all that long
Sit back, relax, and let the trauma take its toll
Absorb the aftershocks of truth you could not have known
Just close your eyes and pray
That when you wake again the hope won't linger long
Everyone was looking to The Joneses
But The Joneses were looking at us
Spotlights showcase the main attraction
Now there's nothing to show
Appearances can be deceiving
To the point we believe them ourselves
Stop striving for their false perfection
Everyone was looking to The Joneses
Spotlights showcase the main attraction
Now there's nothing to show
Appearances can be deceiving
To the point we believe them ourselves
See past the smiles and pretension
