Текст песни The Consequence of Success - Stone Heap

The consequence of success
Is weighing on his mind
There's no excuse for excess
The price is paid in time
You spread your wings and flew as high
As any had before
But now you hear the knocking
And its breaking down the door

Your inner voice is trying
To save your soul from dying
You got to fight it from the inside
When success is all that matters
It leaves you torn and tattered
You've got to heal it from the inside

Wide awake but dreaming
Of someone else's life
You trace the cracks on the ceiling
As you drift off in the night
You wake up in a cold sweat
While the demon is still inside
You know he'll be there waiting
And there's nowhere left to hide

Your inner voice is trying
To save your soul from dying
You got to fight it from the inside
When success is all that matters
It leaves you torn and tattered
You've got to heal it from the inside

On the run living on the run
To find your way to the setting sun
On the run living on the run
To get you back before you come undone

The mirror holds the reflection
Of the righteous and the wrong
The constant and the fleeting
And the truth behind it all
Dreams are everlasting
If you hold their wish inside
But sometimes when you get your wish
It cuts you like a knife

Your inner voice is trying
To save your soul from dying
You got to fight it from the inside
When success is all that matters
It leaves you torn and tattered
You've got to heal it from the inside
You've got to heal it from the inside
