Gold

Starve the ego
Feed the soul

Once upon a time not too long ago
When people wore pajamas and lived life slow
There was a little boy who was misled
By his parents and their marriage was at wits end

There lived a little voice inside of his head
Spewing all kinds of thoughts and this is what it said
"Don't be like your mom and don't be like your dad
You're gonna end up all alone, all depressed and sad
This ain't the way to go, look at all that you had
Life is sunshine and rainbows", I must've gone mad

Somewhere along the line, but from time to time
I like to remind myself that what's mine is mine
And I'll replay it in my head every time I write a rhyme
And I find that you cannot confine the hivemind
That resides inside my mind, you can try
But let me remind you that what's mine is rightfully mine

It used to be all fairy dust and gold
But then one day we woke up and realized that we were getting old

With a boom and a clap tell me who are you to ask
There's a reason you are last, lets recap, just relax
You can change the future but you can't go back to the past
So lets bring it back and we wont dwell too much on that
I guess its not all bad, not a single relapse in the 2 years gone past

It used to be all fairy dust and gold
But then one day we woke up and realized that we were getting old

Twenty seven years gone by I cant believe that I'm still alive
And to this day I wonder why, why I'm still not surprised
But then I realized that real eyes realize real lies
There ain't no compromise, now I'm much more wise
And I contrived myself into overdrive ever since I was 25
Not a single day goes by where I don't strive to survive
I wish I could thrive but I wont lie
You could look into my eyes and I might cry
But I'll use it as my disguise
In order to hide my broken pride from
All the things that agonize and dehumanize

It used to be all fairy dust and gold
But then one day we woke up and realized that we were getting old
