lyrics

Gold

I thought
that I'd found life
I thought
that I'd be fine
And if rain would fall like memories
and crystallize my eyes
would a brand new view be better than what I see?

And when the wind picks up,
and the waters of the sea overtake the bay

but you were young and you were dumb
you wanted gold and you got none
you thought the glory of your youth would never die
but take a lesson from me son
keep your heart and keep it one
because you never know the reasons people fear
until the ground you learned to stand of disappears
disappears

I thought
the choice was mine
I thought
that I'd have time

and when you look into my eyes
there's no disguise, no disguise.
but don’t project the life you wish you had on me.
cause when the guise falls from your face
what I see you cant erase.
the shell that's left abandoned at the door
is the person that I came to see as more
than what you are.
