lyrics

Price is always changing
I'll never get it paid
Rises right around the time
I think I've got it saved
You see the price blazing,
blazing in my eyes:
Figures like the shadows
that are thrown by fire

You see the toll in the centre of my brow
Regret - you old knower - how freedom frightens me
I know my way around you,
I know I do not wish to leave
I know my way around you
I know I do not wish to leave

Guilt, my oldest lover;
How newness unnerves me
The heart a freedom fighter
that has no wish to win
Under all new wishes,
I know I do not wish to leave
I know my way around here
and newness seems like disease

You see the toll
in the centre of my brow...
Regret - you old knower - how freedom frightens me
I know my way around you
I know I do not wish to leave
I know my way around you
I know I do not wish to leave

My conscience - my decider
My heart - bellowing freedom-fighter

Price is always changing
I'll never get it paid...
