The Price We Pay
Things never seem to go according to plan So we always end up compromising We're not smart enough to have a Plan B at hand So we always end up improvising It's killing us to settle with the cards we get When we know there's much more at stake But giving in to pressure is the safest bet And it's also our biggest mistake That's the price we pay That's the price we pay That's the price we pay That's the price we pay We never asked to be put into this position We never had high demands We never claimed to be on some kind of mission Like we had some kind of masterplan It's not as if we know exactly what we came for So we settle for what comes our way We're always unprepared for the final encore What the fuck are we supposed to say? That's the price we pay That's the price we pay That's the price we pay That's the price we pay That's the price we pay That's the price we pay That's the price we pay That's the price we pay Every move we make, every step we take That's the price we pay Every rule we break, every move we fake That's the price we pay Every move we make, every step we take That's the price we pay Every rule we break, every move we fake That's the price we pay

You can't escape life just because you stopped living But you're dead the same second you decide to just give in And given the choice between your own life and death I suggest that you cherish the time you have left 'cause time waits for no one and we're all growing older I've found myself looking more over my shoulder I like to say fuck it I could be dead tomorrow And deal with the pain and the stress and the sorrow Life will kill you, in the end we're all gonna die Life will kill you, it doesn't matter how hard you try Life will kill you, even if you don't give a damn What part of your own death is that you don't understand Death comes in all sizes all shapes and all colours But we like to believe in it only happens to others The closer we get them or we try to avoid it We've tampered with nature so much we've destroyed it It slips through our fingers the more we live What the fuck are we thinking acting like we control it It's a cold fact of life but we should try to be brave How brave can you be with one foot in the grave Life will kill you, in the end we're all gonna die Life will kill you, it doesn't matter how hard you try Life will kill you, even if you don't give a damn What part of your own death is that you don't understand Life will kill you (x5), it's all a part of the great big plan Life will kill you, even if you're in a rock and roll band Life will kill you, so you might as well enjoy each breath Life will kill you, and now you're three minutes closer to death

It's all in your head, the thoughts you have To build your own illusion The faith you need so you can proceed And build a sane solution But is it the truth, is there any proof To back up the things you believe in? Or is it a dream to make it seem Like a goal that you're achieving? We are the prisoners Of the system we create We are the prisoners Stuck inside the space we made To escape What can you do to make and fuel The mind tricks you're producing? Learn to live with the faith you like The hope that you're inducing But you can be cruel and ridicule the corer situation But what will it take for you to break the self humiliation? We are the prisoners Of the system we create We are the prisoners Of the fear that seals our fate We are the prisoners (The prisoners, the prisoners) Stuck inside the space we made To escape Stuck in a rut, we keep on mixing things up And we can't tell what's fiction from fact The more we all try to live up to the illusion The more we all fall through the cracks We are the prisoners Of the system we create We are the prisoners (The prisoners, the prisoners) Of the fear that seals our fate We are the prisoners (The prisoners, the prisoners) Stuck inside the space we made To escape
