Consequence of Winning



You've got no answers
To a big forgotten question
Then the phone rings
And it's time to face your fears

One thing for sure
Is that you really are uncertain
It's amazing
What we forget through the years

And you say it's okay
And you say you don't care
And you say it's something
That you wanted out of your hair

A one-eyed teddy bear
Is the only one left grinning
Maybe it's time we start thinking
About the consequence of winning

Tomorrow's far away
The past is long forgotten
And the moment we're in now
Won't come again

And you don't understand
Why everyone is laughing
And you think they're only
Trying to pretend

And you say it's okay
And you say you don't care
And dammit, what'd you do with it
You must have left it somewhere

A Cheshire cat
Is the only one left grinning
Maybe it's time you start to think
About the consequence of winning

And now you stand beside
A shelf that's full of trophies
From the accidents and battles
That you've won

It's all that's left
From all the guts and all the glory
All the sacrifice
You made to be someone

And you say it's okay
And you say you don't care
And this can't be all there is
There must be something somewhere

A skinless skull
Is the only one left grinning
And now there's lots of time
To think about the consequence of winning
