Lyrics Cost of Your Soul - Elysian Fields

Cost of Your Soul

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
