Loss

We all build paper mansions
We all store our hopes in the seas
We carry our burdens like our new clothes
and we think to ourselves we are free
We are dying for nothing
and living for loss
We are trying for failing
and fall for a cost
We are eating our hands off
and feeding the dust
Who is the mastermind here?
Someone open your eyes and see this clear
Clearly, we are destroying ourselves
We all build up paper lifestyles
Storing dreams below the seas
We hold our burdens above our heads
like a flag to say we're free
We are dying for nothing
and living for loss
We are trying for failing
and fall for the cost
We are tearing our hearts out
and feeding the dust
Who made this our everyday?
Someone better realize there's a better way
why destroy ourselves?
Why do we want to end us?
We die for nothing
and live with the loss
