The Prize - Gravenhurst

Every time you come around

The warning sign in my head just gets drowned out

By waves of anticipation

Breaking vows as I make them

To chase that dream just one last time around

(chase that dream just one last time around)

Bad karma hangs like cancerous lanterns

A poisonous glow

A poisonous glow

When the house lights turn reveal cigarette burns and the tired line

Of last night’s cries of despair

That emanate from the underpass and echo back to anywhere

(to anywhere)

Still the ties that bind us blind us to the emptiness of the prize

(of the prize)

Once more walking into town

You make the calls, I keep my eyes to the ground

In waves of anticipation

Breaking vows as I make them

To chase that dream just one last time around

(chase that dream just one last time around)

Bad karma hangs like cancerous lanterns

A poisonous glow

A poisonous glow

When the house lights turn reveal cigarette burns and the tired line

Of last night’s cries of despair

That emanate from the underpass and echo back to anywhere

(to anywhere)

Still the ties that bind us blind us to the emptiness of the prize

(of the prize)

Still the ties that bind us blind us to the emptiness of the prize

(of the prize)

Still the ties that bind us blind us to the emptiness of the prize

(of the prize)

Still the ties that bind us blind us to the emptiness of the prize
