[Verse 1] You walk in high Like the floor owes you rent Talk down slow Like your words were heaven-sent You point at names Like we all should bow But your gold don’t shine When the room cuts out [Pre-Chorus] You wear that grin Like it’s made of steel Till the doors swing shut And the truth gets real You push and push Till the last good heart Turns around and leaves With a broken start [Chorus] Nose up, karma You treat folks like dogs Nose up, karma Now you’re lost in the fog You laughed too loud When they walked away Now you call for love But love won’t stay Nose up, karma That’s the price you pay [Verse 2] Now the same old chair Feels too big and cold Your name don’t ring Like it did back when you sold That fake little crown And that polished lie All the hands you slapped Won’t wipe your eyes [Pre-Chorus] You hear that hush At the edge of the hall No one comes when you call No one comes at all You kept them small Just to feel tall Now your lonely house Don’t look rich at all [Chorus] Nose up, karma You treat folks like dogs Nose up, karma Now you’re lost in the fog You laughed too loud When they walked away Now you call for love But love won’t stay Nose up, karma That’s the price you pay [Bridge] And late at night When the pride runs thin You see every face You forgot back then No one left to hold No one left to blame Just a quiet room And your own last name [Chorus] Nose up, karma You treat folks like dogs Nose up, karma Now you’re lost in the fog You laughed too loud When they walked away Now you call for love But love won’t stay Nose up, karma That’s the price you pay
