Which episodes of tragedy
Can stir a bit of pageantry
And hold a painted grin while tasting copper?
When sorrows seem incredible
To others, so forgettable
I twist myself so venomous and proper
In all of this, we nurtured something more
In all of this
In all of this
And all of this, to end up where I was before
Face the morning's alienation
I'll pay the fee to join some congregation
Where they've got daily deals for repeat buyers
Connections are irregular
Conferred by faceless creditors
Perfunctory as Sunday's retail flyers
In all of this, we nurtured something more
In all of this
In all of this
And all of this, to end up where I was before
The spreading ranks of timid gawkers
Who'd rather life be cruel than awkward
They're pushing me to make their motives mine
In all of this, we nurtured something more
In all of this
In all of this
And all of this, to end up where I was before
And all of this, to end up where I was before
