You've bought all the happiness
But you still want more.
Parade all that you possess
Though there's no one keeping score.
Dreaming of vertigo
From the highest fame.
Feeling the undertow
when it starts to break.
Everything will fall away
Someday
All that's real is what remains
To always
A cage of the tangible
All you had to own.
You poor social cannibal
What's left when you lose the throne.
We're of the same affair
Pride before the fall.
We'll see what's truly there
When it takes us all.
Everything will fall away
Someday
All that's real is what remains
To always
But you still want more.
Parade all that you possess
Though there's no one keeping score.
Dreaming of vertigo
From the highest fame.
Feeling the undertow
when it starts to break.
Everything will fall away
Someday
All that's real is what remains
To always
A cage of the tangible
All you had to own.
You poor social cannibal
What's left when you lose the throne.
We're of the same affair
Pride before the fall.
We'll see what's truly there
When it takes us all.
Everything will fall away
Someday
All that's real is what remains
To always
