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
