Side Effects -

There’s killers on the loose in this neighbourhood,

so keep your doors locked tight

Hide all your jewelry in cardboard containers and start killing all the lights

Then watch the darkest night fall over us and see them sweeping in

The only thing that can save you now is accepting you will never win

So I’ll just close my eyes and throw down

all the best cards up my sleeve

Cause my loss aversion had 15 years to affect what I achieve

I won’t be settling anymore now

Until everything is gone

Gone until the break of dawn.

Morning has broken and everything‘s different,

Stare down the barrel of pearl handled pistols

In violin cases and holsters of gold, they took us for a ride

They took it all away last night, but a part of me returned

Accepted loss, gained more.

It was the best I ever really earned

So I’ll just close my eyes and throw down

all the best cards up my sleeve

Cause my loss aversion had 15 years to affect what I achieve

But I won’t be settling anymore now

Until everything is gone

Gone until the break

And truth will be told, we’re getting old

We’re choosing pennies over gold

And social decay, forgetting the only risks

Are in the hands we fold

And with our eyes set down the road

Turn these yellow bricks to gold

Am I aware enough to see the new reality?
