A song about class, envy and the carefully managed distance between what we show and why we hurt.

Lyrics

I’m gazing over the city’s roof
I know the view is the proper proof
Of wealth
I’m sitting by myself

I’m wondering about the scaffolder
Working his way up to the top
Does he ever stop
To worry about the drop

Like I
Yes, I
The lie
Is mine
The lie is all you get
The why is never ever met
The lie is all you’re left to get

A part of me truly envies him
And a part really despises him for his ways
He must be led astray
Living such a candid…

… Lie
Like I
The why
I cry
The why is part of me
The lie is all you’ll ever see
The why
The why is just for me
The lie is how I came to be

The lie
Is I
The why
Is mine
The lie is what you get
The why’s my destined loneliness
