The pet he found at the bar, the status of the new car with it
Big money made a new job to make him feel a less slob of it
New standards changed the 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 got to seem so loud
His future in a uniform
He's just another number in the eye of the storm
Obstructure 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 before from it
A tribute to the good lord, the bottle is a way to forget
New standards changed the ego
The villain now a hero looks at life, it's flee or fight
It's nervous laughter business now
It used to be a trip to circle, seven without
The plan for number one to rise
The world that he lives in is a price tag lie
Obstructure too late
Is a price he cannot pay
The cost of pride
And still he hides inside
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
Are you so together that you unwound?
You got a pulse so loud you can't hear a sound
Of them talking to you, trying to see through you
But you don't know what to do
Obstructure too late
Is a price he cannot pay
The cost of pride
And still he hides inside
Obstructure too late
Obstructure too late
The cost of pride
And still he hides inside, dies inside
Dies inside
Dies inside
Dies inside
Can't be alone
