Fool’s Gold Lyrics

Fool’s Gold Lyrics

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 lonely becoming the enemy?

Your castle's burning down

You see yourself a victim

Distorting the rhythm to chase the crown (To chase the crown)

Preying on misfortune

You tell the tale of idle common ground

You're selling fool's gold, no identity

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 lonely 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
