[Instrumental Intro]


[Verse 1]

Now and then, I think of all the stuff I've been through

Sometimes I really miss you and I notice

I'm home again and I guess maybe I should see you

I always feel so broken and I love it


[Refrain]

I'm surrounded by machines

Nothing's ever as it seems

What a far cry from the lakes and from the canyons

Most of all, I made a call

I gotta lose or win it all

I don't care about the stakes, I never have done


[Pre-Chorus]

But aren't we all just pieces of space dust

Gathering rust till we all go home?

Are we only scared 'cause we're lonely?

Somebody show me, I don't wanna go cold


[Chorus]

It's a sunk cost fallacy

It's a slow-motion tragedy

Just a somethin' telling me that I know, I know

It's a self-told prophecy

Regarding what I wanna be

Just a sunk cost fallacy that I know

I know, I know


[Verse 2]

Now and then, I think of all the stuff I've been through

I'm aware I'm s'posed to miss you, but forget to

I'm back again, yeah, I guess maybe I should see you

But I've never really done things how I'm meant to


[Refrain]

Surround myself with my machines

Tear me apart right at the seams

What a far cry from the lakes and from the canyons

And most of all, I made a call

I gotta lose or win it all

Should I care about the stakes when I never have done?


[Pre-Chorus]

Aren't we all just pieces of space dust

Gathering rust till we gotta go home?

Are we only scared 'cause we're lonely?

Somebody show me, 'cause I don't wanna go cold


[Chorus]

It's a sunk cost fallacy

It's a slow-motion tragedy

It's a somethin' telling me that I know, I know

It's a self-told prophecy

Regardin' all the things I wanna be

It's a sunk cost fallacy that I know

I know, I know


[Drop]

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)


[Chorus]

It's a sunk cost fallacy

It's a slow-motion tragedy

It's a somethin' telling me that I know, I know

Always a self-told prophecy

Regardin' all the things I wanna be

It's a sunk cost fallacy that I know

I know, I know


[Post-Chorus]

You gotta remember, you gotta remember

You gotta remember, you gotta remember

You gotta remember, you gotta remember

You gotta remember what it was


[Outro]

Aren't we all just pieces of space dust

Gathering rust till we all go home?

Are we only scared 'cause we're lonely?

Somebody show me, 'cause I don't wanna go cold
