Nothing Stays Gold

Stargazer blinded by the clouds
One shade of grey you've never seen until now
Inability to look beyond what's clear and visible
With a million lies you sold the sun, so hypocritical
So tell me what's it worth to you?

Heavy is the head that wears the crown
But I don't want this anymore
Because all my will is devoured
Everything that shines is not so beautiful
Worn and tarnished, pitiful
Just like a fading flower
Nothing here stays gold

Daydreamer wishing for a change
No chance to see a path, it's been paved with mistakes
Now the gleam that once was in your eyes has made you cynical
In the place where dreams all go to die, it looks so typical

Own the life that broke you
Under-stated and tolerated
Silver linings are right there in disguise

Everything that shines is not so beautiful
Worn rusted and tarnished alone
Try to hold on and not let go
Nothing stays gold
