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 sow its seed.
With this forsaken pound of flesh, cast off a casualty 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 honor 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 hope I could be pure, I'd hope I would be strong.
I'd hope I could be sure, I know my right from wrong..
(When I started out I felt like this was unobtainable) I'd hope I could be pure,
(Now I know that in this world that choice is unavailable) I'd hope I would be strong.
(To at one is to be sure) I'd hope I could be sure, just wish I could be (that choice is unavailable) 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!
