At What Cost

Your grass is greener 

Your eyes blue 

But is your perfection really true 

My glory’s free

Peace, faith, and family 

Character is what’s within

A care actor deceives with a grin

It’s not what you say, but what you mean

Where’s your dignity?

It’s not in the office 

Or in your wife’s pocket

Finger off the trigger, you abusive alcoholic

Another shot, why is it for me?

You call me poor, but you can’t even see 

Faith, love, and loyalty 

The most valuable gifts, actually free

You destroy who love 

To win those who made you scream 

Your life, your gain, are you willing to suffer the pain to have your dream?

To lose who you love

To win those who don’t love you.

Or who is it you’re trying to prove?

Yourself, your dad, that insecurity in your head

The world has never been kind

Waking up, on the grind

America’s greatest pastime

Who’s it all for?

Why do they want it?

Would they’ve loved you if someone else got it.

More money, sexier grin, while all your life you’d never win

Is that love?

Does it matter if it’s true?

Do you really love them or just want someone to screw?

Love is coming home at night 

Slightly drunk while they’re extra high 

Break out the whiskey and some red wine

We start with jokes, then his lips around mine 

A touch on the hip and then on the thigh

His soul looks at mine until the sunshine 

Screaming fuck the world 

But thanks for bringing them to mine

Peace is free

Just get some authenticity 

Your car won’t matter

If your heart can’t sing

When you look in the mirror are you happy 

Ask yourself…

What’s happy 

What do I want 

What’s happy 

What do I want 

What’s happy 

What do I want

Just a thought.
