Paper Trail Lyrics by Fault Lines

2151

2014

I want everything covered in gold
A land that only Midas could dream of
Where we could grow old

I want everything coated in chrome
But I won't be satisfied
No! I'm a dog with a bone

What a fall from grace this is
We struggled for years to build this
Why did we think this would be okay?
Are you listening?

[Chorus]
And are you gonna listen to me now?
Building a dependency on material things
This has to end

At the foot of this imaginary throne
There'll be a casket waiting for you
Every single thing that you placed on a pedestal
Will come crashing down upon you
Crashing down upon you
Will you listen to me?

[Chorus]

This has to end

Open your eyes and see that everything we know
Bought or sold is greater than gold
Is greater than gold

At the fall when you've lost it all
We won't be there for you to call upon

Corruption is everywhere you look (x2)

Fuck diamonds, fuck gold
Fuck a lotta things that you know
I'm not living for the killing
I got places that I wanna go
Holding on to what truly inspires, ignites all desires
See through the folding over, of every green Benjamin
And do what ignites and inspires
With your feet on the ground again

Open your eyes and see that everything we know
Bought or sold is greater than gold
Is greater than gold

You will listen to me now
Shut your mouth
