The pity found at the bar

The status of a new car with it

Big money made a new job

To make him feel a less love of it

New status, changed ego

The villain now a hero looks at life

And takes a bite

A piece of paper makes him proud

The silence of success has gotta seem so loud

His future in a uniform

He's just another number in the eye of the storm

Obstruction too late

Is a price he cannot pay

The cost of pride

And still he hides inside

Dies inside

Alone he sheds a tear for

The memories of people from it

A tribute to the good lord

The bible is a way to forget

New status, changed ego

The villain still a hero looks at life

It's flee or fight

His career has left the business now

It used to be a trip

The circle's seven without

The plan for number one to rise

The world that he lives in is a price tag lie

Obstruction too late

Is a price he cannot pay

The cost of pride

And still he hides inside

(Have you ever felt alone?)

Have you ever felt alone in a crowd?

You keep your mouth shut but inside you scream out loud

Stay real to yourself

Be afraid of yourself

Find a heaven in hell

(Find a heaven in hell)

And now you're so together that you're unwound

You've got a pulse so loud you can't hear a sound

All them talking to you

Trying to see through you

But you don't know what to do

Obstruction too late

Is a price he cannot pay

The cost of pride

And still he hides inside

Obstruction too late

Obstruction too late

The cost of pride

And still he hides inside

Dies inside (Is he alone?)

Dies inside (Is he alone?)

Dies inside (Is he alone?)

Dies inside
