You’ve been so blessed with an enlightened way You see the world in varied shades of grey You know it all too very, very well You’re forced to keep it to yourself…. You see what others always fail to see You watch them act the way you want to be You know it more than anybody else You’re forced to keep it to yourself…. Would you throw it all away? For just a single day? Would you forfeit all you are, Just to get away? Would you turn your back on treasure, And instead, opt to pay? Would you throw it all away? Would you throw it all away? You have what others wish that they could have But it seems that Fate needed a laugh Despite the everything that you have tried The grass is always greener, on the other side You know the things you wish you could forget Ignorance is bliss, and knowledge isn’t it So for peace of mind you’d give up all your wealth But you’re forced to keep it to yourself…. Will you throw it all away? For just a single day? Will you forfeit all you are, Just to get away? Will you turn your back on treasure, And instead, opt to pay? Will you throw it all away? Will you throw it all away? You just want to be like everyone else For this you’ll even give up your good health Relax, you’ll be too dumb to realize The sacrifices made to win your prize Once you go, there is no turning back But you don’t mind, that’s just a useless fact You’ll no longer see what most don’t see “That’s okay, this is what I need.” So you throw it all away For just a single day You forfeit all you are, Just to get away You turn your back on treasure, And instead you opt to pay You throw it all away You throw it all away
