The Price

Save your breath
They've heard enough from you
There's nothing left
Every next word pours salt deeper in the wound
This cratered hole
You dug yourself
With shovel in hand
You'll beg for help
I hate this apparatus, I just wanna watch it burn
Let the fire glass the land and see what blossoms in return
Nero fiddled down as most of rome was set ablaze
Actually he wasn't there, but that's less interesting to say
Pass the buck, the luck is rough
The odds they suck, so bluffs is a must, I must adjust
Am I evеr gonna finally satiate the lust
It's entеrtaining, suffocating in the ash and dust because
This isn't what you thought it would be
You wanna leave but you can't escape
You'll just end up at the bottom with me
That body bag that you'll fill one day, can wait you out
Turn deaf ears and blind wide eyes
The smoke is choking so much more than lungs and desperate cries, I find
When there's static in the action
That's when passion gets passed to the wayside, with a lack of pride
Make way for the next distraction, fuck we gonna do is our mouths keep gasping
I don't really wanna die
Is anything really gonna matter after all
I've climbed the ladder just to fall and break and shatter every bone I've ever had
If there's a lesson to be learned
You get what you pay for!
This isn't what you thought it would be
You wanna leave but you can't escape
You'll just end up at the bottom with me
That body bag that you'll fill one day, can wait you out
This isn't what you thought it would be
You wanna leave, but you can't escape (escape!)
You'll just end up at the bottom with me
That body bag that you'll fill one day, can wait you out!
This isn't what you thought it would be
You wanna leave, but you can't escape (you can't escape)
You'll just end up at the bottom with me
That body bag that you'll fill one day, can wait you out
This isn't what you thought it would be
You wanna leave, but you can't escape (escape!)
You'll just end up at the bottom with me
That body bag that you'll fill one day, can wait you out!
This is what I want
This is what I came for
This is what I lost
This is what I paid for
This is what I want
This is what I came for
This is what I lost
This is what I paid for
