NOTHING STAYS GOLD<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stargazer blinded by the clouds
One shade of grey you’ve never seen until now
Inability to look beyond what’s clear and visible
With a million lies you sold the sun, so hypocritical
So tell me what’s it worth to you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heavy is the head that wears the crown
But I don’t want this anymore
Because all my will is devoured
Everything that shines is not so beautiful
Worn and tarnished, pitiful
Just like a fading flower
Nothing here stays gold<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daydreamer wishing for a change
No chance to see a path, it’s been paved with mistakes
Now the gleam that once was in your eyes has made you cynical
In the place where dreams all go to die, it looks so typical<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Own the life that broke you
Under-stated and tolerated
Silver linings are right there in disguise<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything that shines is not so beautiful
Worn rusted and tarnished alone
Try to hold on and not let go
Nothing stays gold<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ALL TIME LOW<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One step up felt just like a hundred
Falling faster to the ground
The cracks down here formed all of a sudden
A perfect place for laying down
But all I’ve got is a moment
And I’ll go through this alone
Too many times I’ve come across a fork in the road
Got no sense of direction
The sun is setting too low
There’s nowhere for me to go<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell me where did I go wrong
All I have is dead and gone
Every voice inside tell me that I won’t survive
As I hit an all time low<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All these years they all just run together
Can’t tell nighttime from the day
And the sun comes up and the stars go out
and the only thing here that I can count on is being let down<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You gotta stop me from falling down
I’m headed one way south<\/p>\n\n\n\n
