The Sale Lyrics

The sale

Most grand in history

Was done in pure deceit

The man in 30 years of debt

We're repossessed for it



By a world that's only

Numbers and a name

But I won't buy another day



So take this life, I'm over and done

Living for everyone

Pass these expectations

For someone else's dreams

This life, just who is it for

'Cause it ain't mine anymore

You see little by little

They raped it away from me



The boy, innocent, naive

Was give and no receive

The soul or what seems to be left

Of me can feel the theft



Layer by layer

Inch by inch

my dream we were saved

But it hurts the pinch



This life, just take back this fate

And in my heart, it breaks

At least I won't have to cry

For someone else's face

This life, just who is it for

'Cause it ain't mine anymore

You see little by little

They raped it away



Hey you, where were you

When it all went down

Did they buy you too

(Was it untruthful)

So much for the blues

My heart sings but

It ain't mine to lose

It's yesterday's news



Layer by layer

Inch by inch

My dream we were saved

But it hurts to pinch



The world has only

Numbers and a name

But I won't buy another day



So take this life, I'm over and done

Living for everyone

Pass these expectations

For someone else's dreams

This life, just who is it for

'Cause it ain't mine anymore

You see little by little

They raped it away from me



This life, just take back this fate

And in my heart it breaks

At least I won't have to cry

For someone else's face

This life, just who is it for

'Cause it ain't mine anymore

You see little by little

They raped it away from me

(By you, by you, by you)

Yeah...oh yeah



Raped it away from me

Hey you, where were you

Hey you, where were you

Hey you, where were you



The sale

Most grand in history

Was done in pure deceit
