Fool's Gold (Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

(albüm: Scoring The End Of The World - 2022)

I won't let you burn me, cheat and destroy me
Bleed and exploit me, then preach of your loyalty
If only your heart was as honest as your lust for a profit
You'll see what you threw away

You're selling fool's gold
Get what you give
See through the blindfold
Beneath the skin

Now you're playing with fire
It's never gonna stop
Climb higher and higher to be on top
Tell me, friend, is it fully becoming the enemy
Your castle's burning down

You see yourself a victim, distorting the rhythm to chase the crown
Preying on misfortune, you tell the tale of idle common ground

You're selling fool's gold
No, I didn't see
See through the blindfold
See through the roles that you play

Now you're playing with fire
It's never gonna stop
Climb higher and higher to be on top
Tell me, friend, is it fully becoming the enemy
Your fantasy is falling down

There will come a day with no one left to sing your song
And in the end, no one will mourn you when you're gone
No one will mourn you when you're gone

Deceiver
Greed is a fever
Betrayal is cheaper
You're starting to crack
(Knife in my back)
You're crossing your fingers
The joke of you lingers
You're starting to crack
And now you can't buy it back

Still playing with fire
You're never gonna stop
No sense of remorse or an afterthought
Watch you hang from the rope as you reach out your hand to me
Erase the memories

Still playing with fire
You're never gonna stop
No sense of remorse or an afterthought
Erase the memories

I hear your voice but know not your face
What once was meaningful has all but faded away
