From the recording Friend Village
Lyrics
Is there an answer?
To the heartache deep inside
The lonesome people walkin' by
With lost and weary eyes
It’s behind the price tags
Of the happiness we buy
The empty pleasures we oblige
Long to torment us inside
Can’t even trust myself
I’ve twisted truth to keep from breaking down
I’m a hooked fish hangin’ by a line chokin' up
I need to get back on the ground
I’m flying high but I wanna die
I’m blazin’ on denial
Chasin’ happiness
Left my conscience behind
Isolation’s killing my mind
God, I hate myself and don't even know
Gotta stop this wrong way train
Rise and shine off this dead-end road
Our future is trapped in caskets from chasing the next best thing
Values twisted into the facets of a diamond ring
Obsessed with success but what’s the point of progress?
If it leads to leaky souls and burning bridges in the process
Is life about big spending, or following what’s trending?
A fine line runs between happiness and pretending
Lend me fables of rags to riches, frogs to princes
Problem is fairy tales never show the real ending
Can’t even trust myself
I’ve twisted truth to keep from breaking down
I’m a hooked fish hangin’ by a line chokin' up
I need to get back on the ground
I’m flying high but I wanna die
I’m blazin’ on denial
Chasin’ happiness
Left my conscience behind
Isolation’s killing my mind
God, I hate myself and don't even know
Gotta stop this wrong way train
Rise and shine off this dead-end road
I’m flying high but I wanna die
I’m blazin’ on denial
Chasin’ happiness
Left my conscience behind
Isolation’s killing my mind
God, I hate myself and don't even know
Gotta stop this wrong way train
Rise and shine off this dead-end road
