The Great Gold Rush

Turned on the news today
Believed every word
Everything they proclaimed
Breaking lives on the air tonight
Broadcast hate to pass the time
Caught in a web
A world wide web of lies
Parading as kings living our dreams
Hoping no one sees inside
If I told you the truth
You wouldn’t believe it (no)
If I said I’m older now
You’d say you can’t see it
Oh sometimes
It keeps me up at night
And sometimes
It’s easier holding a suitcase lie
But there’s a time and there’s a place for everything
So don’t erase your past
From your memory
I’ve been a number and a diamond
No need to react
Yeah my sins have almost killed me
And the scars show the facts
What I really wanna
It’s ok to pack a suitcase
Quit and run away
If I told you the truth
You wouldn’t believe it (no)
If I said I’m older now
You’d say you can’t see it
Oh sometimes
It keeps me up at night
And sometimes
It’s easier holding a suitcase lie
I wanna know
Are we worth our weight in gold?
Maybe it’s best to never ask why
We live like this until we die
Maybe it’s best to never ask why
We kill for light until we die
I wanna know
Are we worth our weight in gold?
