Cost of Your Soul - Elysian Fields

Are you afraid

Afraid of the dark

You’re taking a dip

And one slip

You’re swimming with sharks

Before my eyes

Words, they are swimming

If you won’t

There’s someone else who’s willing

And the view

From high up can be thrilling

You and I could surely make a killing

Won’t you sign please

Ignore the conditions

The cost of your soul is the cost of admission

I followed a word

The word of the seasons

She whispers endure

But gives me no reason

A one way trip

Can just get you so far

The tissue has hardened and stiffened

Turning to thick scar

How can I

How I can lead them?

Dragging a stone up a hill

Ain’t much to believe in

So I keep pushing

Some call it ambition

The cost of your soul is the cost of admission

If there was a town

For roaming outliers

I’d be cutting a rug with you, babe

Instead of these wires

There once was a star

That dreamed of flotation

Slept in a wine dark sea of lower sensation

God bless the trees

God bless the branches

Spread your message beyond invisible dances

Hiding your roots below ground

Don’t take no chances

And that star had a premonition

The cost of your soul is the cost of admission
