Wesley Williams - Ampersand lyrics

You wore a smile to the masquerade And you blended into the crowd You wear a mask on work days So your boss can remember who you are You bring a flask to church on Sunday Take a sip when the devil feels near You curse God for not giving you hands To cover your eyes, mouth and ears Do you regret the nights that we stayed awake? And what did you gain from the risk you refused to take? You have a history of preventing the future And I have a habit of forgetting the past And we've been circling around this town Like red fingernails around a champagne gla** Do you regret the nights that we stayed awake? And what did you gain from the risks you refused to take? [Chorus x12] Life is long but it feels short When you go to bed and go to work Life is long but it feels short When you end up right back where you were
