Fool’s Gold Lyrics by Reckless Serenade

Strange Soul

2016

[Verse 1]
Build me up, tear my down
Brick by brick by brick
Cast your stones, pass judgments
Jury, oh jury, your talk makes me sick
Fake smile, mannequin, locked outside my door
Where’s beauty, real beauty?
Honor, my honor, what could you want more?

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not a saint, despite my best intentions
I’m not afraid, not afraid

[Chorus]
All the stars are fools gold, kid
Watch them crashing down in perfect imperfection
These teenage hearts can’t shake this tension anymore

[Verse 2]
Why are we hellbent on falling apart?
(Brick by brick by brick)
This mirror cuts deeper
Jury, oh jury, these people are so sick
Woah, these shadows cast from above
(Starstruck from the glow)
Woah, we’re addicted
Honor, my honor, this lust isn’t love

[Chorus]
All the stars are fools gold, kid
Watch them crashing down in perfect imperfection
These teenage hearts can’t shake this tension anymore

[Bridge]
I used to question myself
Measure up to everyone else
What good am I?
How will this sell
I used to question myself
Now I question everybody else
What good am I
If I can’t learn to love myself

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not a saint, despite my best intentions
I’m not afraid, not afraid

[Chorus]
All the stars are fools gold, kid
Watch them crashing down in perfect imperfection
These teenage hearts can’t shake this tension anymore
All the stars are fools gold, kid
Watch them crashing down in perfect imperfection
These teenage hearts can’t shake this tension anymore
