Nothing Stays

(album: Show And Tell - 2004)

Sitting in a dark, cramped basement
Watching the sun go down behind the shades
We all try to find a way out
Realizing there is much more to today

Would I make you confess?
Maybe then we'd slow down a bit
And relax this pace, relax this pace

When everything seems to go away
I can hear the silver call my name
Nothing happens when I pray, no
Nothing happens when I pray
No nothing gold ever stays

Folks finally seen the simple view
And I've seen a way out
Through all the bars then all I seen was you
I've got an answer for these simple questions

When everything seems to go away
I can hear the silver call my name
Nothing happens when I pray, no
Nothing happens when I pray
No nothing gold ever stays

And as the shadows seem to rise behind me
I found a way to govern my ears
Everyone tends to bind up
Because they don't know
They don't realize their own fears
i cant get up, there is much more missing
Is there something to grasp?

When everything seems to go away
I can hear the silver call my name
Nothing happens when I pray, no
Nothing happens when I pray
No nothing gold ever stays

No I can't, no I can't
I can't even take a breath
No I can't, no I can't
I can't ever take a breath

When everything seems to go away
Nothing happens when I pray
No nothing gold ever stays

No nothing gold ever stays
