Carry Your Ghost - Saving Face lyrics

All my life I have held these standards on what's right for me and yet I've found as I've got older that can mean so many things believe me, I am not perfect I'm no closer to the truth but it is safe to say there is nothing worse than hiding from who you are All my life I've held these standards on what's right for me and yet I've found as I've got older that can mean so many things believe me, I'm not perfect I'm no closer to the truth but it is safe to say that there is nothing worse than hiding from who you are For the sake of conformity cleverly disguised as security but there is nothing secure about living your life if you are constantly competing with the next guy for a chance at a better life if you can sell your soul at a higher price If there's one thing that I know it's that money talks and bullsh** walks so count your gold as you lose control there's no sense in saving face anymore I'm leaving with high hopes that I'll figure the rest out, and if I don't you can say 'I told you so', but all the money in the world won't save your soul I'm leaving with high hopes all the money in the world won't save your soul It's been a while since you've seen the simple things and it'll be even longer till you see me again I see it in your eyes this is not the life that you want for me despite your negativity I'm leaving with high hopes
