A Loss For Words

I climbed to the top of this mountain with no fear of tumbling down. For one brief moment in time I freed my mind of this town. Got clear sight of lights on the hills just outside the citys grip and just like that I let the moment sleep.
[Chourus]Every face seems familiar on these crowded streets,
Sidewalks sway to the beat of my stammering feet,
Lost in a world of handshakes and receipts,
I hear a song its calling out to me.
The people are aligned on the road like candle pins.
Wobbling above gutters humming old retired hymns.
Cant you see its all a cavalcade of delusion stares and
just like that we are prone to disappear.
[Chorus]
Whats the price that you pay for living everyday like a number on a docket, a dollar to be saved? Whats the price you pay when you give yourself away with swollen fists in your pocket, from the workhouse to your grave?
Lets pray we dont end up this way
