lyrics

I've drawn a comprehensive list of all
the pleasures felt or missed and all
the horrors of each day; a fragile joy that is betrayed

I choose to renounce and remain in a space
beyond life and beyond pain
and wait as hours heave and sigh;
a failing body burdened by

the cost of living
the cost of living
the cost of living
my cost of living

cold blood, in varying degrees, will
occupy my atrophy
but will I choke or hesitate?
or press my palm upon the gate?

my disposition is belied by a
violent-willed, contentious side
and in the creeping cold of night
I'll find a neck to plunge my spite, itself

a cost of living
a cost of living
the cost of living
my cost of living

and how can you insinuate that I asked for this?
no one asked for this

this cost of living
the cost of living
the cost of living
my cost of living

the cost of living
the cost of living
the cost of living
my cost of living
