Behind closed doors we take a seat
A friendly face with sly intent
An offer stands between us now
Transparent with self-confidence
Would you put a price on the priceless?
With veiled threats no patience left
This power seeks to sew its seed
With this forsaken pound of flesh
Cast off a casuality of greed
Would you put a price on the priceless?
Hold tight and make pretend
That this will make amends
Hold tight and make pretend
That this is how it ends
You'd think that pride would save me now
But honour must give way to need
Would you put a price on the priceless?
Hold tight and make pretend
That this will make amends
Hold tight and make pretend
That this is how it ends
I'd hoped I could be pure
I'd hoped I would be strong
I'd hoped I could be sure
I know my right from wrong
When I started out
I felt like I was unobtainable
Now I know that in this world
That choice is unavailable
To atone is to be sure
Sure
Hold tight and make pretend
That this will make amends
Hold tight and make pretend
That this is how it ends
Hold tight and make pretend
Pray we aren't all condemned
Hold tight and make pretend
That this is how it ends
