What's The Cost?

We said that it was in the air but when it came down it was hollow

Tough to swallow,

You know the devil's ways are tough acts to follow,

In the shallow waters

Off the coast, of forever and tomorrow

I saw a part of you drown deep in the ocean

And I didn't even holler,

Deceptive and not impressive

We were supposed to gain leverage,

Not lose sight of everything concrete that we've been blessed with,

There's power in your irides

And words in your pupils,

A battle I'll never win

Because my vocals are not useful,

You should,

Close your eyes so I can tell you what I feel

I'll close my eyes too,

In the darkness I'll let it spill

The light, will let it heal

And fulfill all that was lost,

When we open our eyes we'll see our gains outweighed the cost.
