All the things we never know we need

Looks like we get them in the end
Measure time in leisure time and greed
And by the time we get to spend
A floating bed
A head of stone
A home plugged into every phone

Kimono coral floral print
Exclusive tint and cut reclusive
No it doesn’t come for free
But it’s the price
We pay for happiness
No don’t talk about more to life than this
Dream a world maybe no one owns

No don’t think about all the life we miss
Swallow doubt as the hunger grows
Make believe its like no one knows
Even if we turn more to most
We’ll never satisfy the hungry ghost
All the stuff we know we never want

Seems like we get it anyway
Safe to say it isn’t really wrong
Not when we know we only…
Throw it all away
Yeah all of this we never know we want
Its like we get it anyway

Safe to say it isn’t ever wrong
Better to get than to delay
A 3d screen
A cleaner fit
A bit pulled out of every hit
Addicted latest greatest piece

Design caprice and make the headline
No it doesn’t come for free
But it’s the price
We pay for happiness
No don’t talk about more to life than this
Dream a world maybe no one owns
No don’t think about all the life we miss

Swallow doubt as the hunger grows
Make believe its like no one knows
Even if we turn more to most
We’ll never satisfy the hungry ghost
And all of this
We know we never need

Well it’s the price
We pay for happiness
