New American Lyrics by Sleep For Sleepers

Discovery

2014

[Verse 1]
Is it over? Time to wake up
Glossy eyes from the fever
Painting the words from dark to light
And ya, can't, can't, can't, can't give it up
'Cause your bones won't hold up
And it's sh-sh-sh-shaking you up
From the home you built now
[Chorus 1]
I will not pretend I'm made of gold
But the mind and the heart in my chest won't say it
Not sure it's worth it just to sell our souls
Make a deal to keep you cheating on the open road
I've had time to think and I'm over it
[Verse 2]
The things you know always kept a place in mind
Others stop before the dollar sign
But the toll it takes is waiting
And it's getting, getting in to way you out
But you sold your sold and made some
Would you take, take, take your money back
To the hell you must've come from?
[Chorus 1]
I will not pretend I'm made of gold
But the mind and the heart in my chest won't say it
Not sure it's worth it just to sell our souls
Make a deal to keep you cheating on the open road
I've had time to think and I'm over it
[Bridge]
I hope you choke on your debt
Spit fire out of your lips
Just give it up, just give it up
I watched you swallow your pride
And you find there's nothing inside
Just give it up, just give it up
[Chorus 2]
I will not pretend I'm made of gold
But the mind and the heart in my chest won't say it
You roll the body back within my grave
? sell my life away
I've had time to think and I'm over it
