Citizen Badger - The Pearl Lyrics

Everything looks better from 10,000 feet
Free falling through the fleeting seconds
Life tastes better when it's all a treat
A slo-mo replay of what was destined

Whoa-oh take the pearl from its shell
Whoa-oh go and poison your own well
There's no sacrifice too great
For all our future days

The clouds all seemed to disburse
When that first sin was gently planted
But the drought and pain is far worse
Than the selfish desires granted

Whoa-oh take the pearl from its shell
Whoa-oh go and poison your own well
There's no sacrifice too great
For all our future days

So run, kick the dirt up with your feet
And run, though there is no relief
Desires blinded you to the evil around
And you will never overcome your grief

Any gold struck is made for fools
The lust for wealth is the sweetest poison
It justifies breaking all your rules
Braids of good are frayed and broken

Whoa-oh take the pearl from its shell
Whoa-oh go and poison your own well
There's no sacrifice too great
For all our future days

So run, kick the dirt up with your feet
And run, though there is no relief
Desires blinded you to the evil around
And you will never overcome your grief
