The Alchemist
Change, keep changing
Chains hold me down
Change, keep changing
Take these chains off of me
They call him names
As they see him chasing the sun
Making gold out of anything he gets his hands on
There's so much light in his soul
But nothing seems to shine as bright to other people
He's never quite comfortable
But every night he returns
One step closer to the shining Sauternes
One step closer to losing his faith
He's devising and revising ways to change
This life
Is struggle your only plan?
What's the weather in your world?
It's raining tears of bankrupt men
Who thought they knew their worth
And then all failed to turn lead into gold
Oh, how foresight makes you inert
And you tie yourself to a thought you hate
'Cause you're not changing this world
But every night he returns
One step closer to the shining Sauternes
One step closer to losing his faith
He's devising and revising ways to change
And the rain will fall
The chains keep holding on
You can wait till the muse comes around
If you find her, she's missed
Tell her I'm the alchemist
And we won't change each other's minds
I'll stick to the grind
And that's how it gets better
People keep searching for lies to combat fear
Our best dreams all die in the arms of a compromise
If you found that you're lost and you don't have the luck to get nearer
Would you earn it? 'Cause maybe the chase is worth it
Maybe it's the only way to perfect
This life that starts to disappear
(I know what I want)
As I start acting out of fear
(You know you won't see me in chains)
Must do more than merely what the world expects
(I'm not putting the chains on again)
And that's how it gets better
I'm stood here with a soul full of dreams
And I'm not gonna watch them turn into regrets
So please don't push me down this life
I know it's all in my hands
(I know what I want)
You won't see me putting the chains on again
(You know you won't see me in chains)
What will you regret when you grow old?
(I'm not putting the chains on again)
The process itself is the gold
Chains hold me down
Change, keep changing
Take these chains off of me
They call him names
As they see him chasing the sun
Making gold out of anything he gets his hands on
There's so much light in his soul
But nothing seems to shine as bright to other people
He's never quite comfortable
But every night he returns
One step closer to the shining Sauternes
One step closer to losing his faith
He's devising and revising ways to change
This life
Is struggle your only plan?
What's the weather in your world?
It's raining tears of bankrupt men
Who thought they knew their worth
And then all failed to turn lead into gold
Oh, how foresight makes you inert
And you tie yourself to a thought you hate
'Cause you're not changing this world

One step closer to the shining Sauternes
