Everything Costs Songtext

von Radical Face

Dreams like coins down a well
Till I realized I was dumb for believing
To the bird with no flight
The skies don't ever offer respite

So I wandered off
And went to fill the holes in my shadow
But everything costs
Proof is etched into the back

I heard you say that you've lost
You've lost you've lost you've lost your way
But I don't think you had much to lose
That house was never built for you

And I ain't gonna hang my head for them, for them
And I ain't gonna let them paint the truth as sin
And I ain't gonna tell you it's okay when at the end of the day
You were just something in my mind

A face pressed into your hands
Couldn't tell if you were crying or laughing
They both sound the same
When you ain't got no skin in the game

So I took up the fight
And the rolling in my head was like thunder
Till I uncurled my fists
And allowed myself to not give a damn

I heard you say that we've lost
We've lost we've lost we've lost our way
But I don't think we had much to lose
That path was never built for us

And I ain't gonna hang my head for them, for them
And I ain't gonna let them paint the truth as sin
And I ain't gonna tell you it's okay when at the end of the day
We were just something in my mind
