Everything Costs

Written by：Benjamin Cooper

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
