House of Heroes - Comfort Trap Lyrics

A house and a wife and two and a half
I lost my dream in the comfort trap
I told my God his will could wait
I've got one foot in a rich man's grave
I heard it calling in my sleep at night
So I killed my dream with a butcher knife
I told my heart to toe the line
You had all that time, the rest is mine

I'm gonna get nice things and get my way
Even if it means there's hell to pay
I'm gonna have my cake and eat it too
And what I don't eat I'm gonna force feed you
I'm not looking for consolation
Maybe I can settle for compensation
Have my cake and eat it too
And if it's all a lie I'm gonna say it's all true
I'm gonna say it's all true
I'm gonna say it's all true

A house and a wife and two and a half
I lost my dream in the comfort trap
I paid my dues and earned my doubt
It'd be God's mistake to spit me out

I'm gonna get nice things and get my way
Even if it means there's hell to pay
I'm gonna have my cake and eat it too
And what I don't eat I'm gonna force feed you
I'm not looking for consolation
Maybe I can settle for compensation
Have my cake and eat it too
And if it's all a lie I'm gonna say it's all true
I'm gonna say it's all true
I'm gonna say it's all true
Oh, it's all true

I'm gonna say it's all true
I'm gonna say it's all true
I'm gonna say it's all true

I'm gonna get nice things and get my way
Even if it means there's hell to pay
I'm gonna have my cake and eat it too
And what I don't eat I'm gonna force feed you
I'm not looking for consolation
Maybe I can settle for conversation
Have my cake and eat it too
And if it's all a lie I'm gonna say it's all true
It's all true
It's all true
Oh, it's all true
