The Price

[Verse 1]

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 on 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 bluff's a must, I must adjust

Am I evеr gonna finally satiate the lust

It's entеrtaining, suffocating in the ash and dust because

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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 as 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!

[Chorus]

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

(Out!)

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

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

(Out!)

[Outro]

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 was what I lost

This is what I paid for
