lyrics

Because there’s no way out
On brick wall painted orange fields
And when my feet leave the ground
It’s someone trying to tease me

Because no one hears your prayers
Big words and an empty sky
And if I’m wrong when I die
Here’s my apology

Because work is wasted life
Hours for cash, cash that doesn’t last
I know I’m judged for feeling that
I suppose I deserve to be

Because artists disguise their lies
With purpose, poise, & integrity
If I confess to be one of them
I never started out to be

Because time gets the best of us
Plans, dreams, names given in sacrifice
Now, it’s not wrong or right
It just is

Because beauty is a fleeting thing
As nothing free can be kept
So when my feet touch the ground
Man, it’s like they never left.
