The Joneses

I'm going to a funeral today For somebody who hasn't passed away But for all intents and purposes He isn't with us anymore Disappeared before I could say goodbye Left in his place a vacant salesman who would only make me cry Now the lights inside this home, they merely flicker Not long ago they used to shine Everyone was looking to The Joneses But The Joneses were looking at us Spotlights showcase the main attraction Now there's nothing to show Appearances can be deceiving To the point we believe them ourselves Load up on lies and cheap deception In just one moment he became a sad cliche Turned his back and packed his bags and walked away His "I Dos" were merely words And his forevers didn't last for all that long Sit back, relax, and let the trauma take its toll Absorb the aftershocks of truth you could not have known Just close your eyes and pray That when you wake again the hope won't linger long Everyone was looking to The Joneses But The Joneses were looking at us Spotlights showcase the main attraction Now there's nothing to show Appearances can be deceiving To the point we believe them ourselves Stop striving for their false perfection Everyone was looking to The Joneses Spotlights showcase the main attraction Now there's nothing to show Appearances can be deceiving To the point we believe them ourselves See past the smiles and pretension
