pain is the cost of reality settling in,
i wish i was richer in the past,
i've been in debt for many years.
isn't it my fault? i'm convinced.
life's not worth all this stress & bitter ends.
i've done nothing but lose friends who were never solid,
i wish it was revealed to me in the beginning.
anxiety is the cost of all my worrying,
i wish i was richer in the past,
i've been in debt for many years.
i wish God gave me eyes for the back of my brain,
i would have dodged your dagger before you struck me,
i would have known better when you tried to call me insane.
delusion is the cost of gullible pretense,
i wish i was richer in the past,
i've been in debt for many years.
for too long i've been poor,
i'd give it all for loose change.
what's the cost to be healed? i'll pay for better days.
