Fool’s Gold (Demo) Lyrics by The Glass Passenger

Colors In Contrast

2021

[Verse 1]
Welcome to the gold rush where counterfeit is king
Welcome to the gold rush where the crow knows everything
See it's a fool's gold world and we've fallen for the shine
Searching for that sparkle of old cause we've lost the goal of this beautiful life
You forge ahead, but the canary is dead
Yet the hollow shine prevents you from collecting a level head
You know the weary can never rest, at least that's what the foreman said
Cause they say that gold is worth its weight in death
[Chorus]
You know it looks so pretty but it ain't got a soul
But that's the price you pay for the noise of rock and roll
When the lights come up and break the facade you find the fortune you hold
Is the sparkle of fool's gold
[Verse 2]
Welcome to the gold rush where they turn us on ourselves
Welcome to the gold rush where the controversy sells
They try to sell you short, singing "This is a war, we gotta stand up and fight"
But the facts get twisted like a distant fiction of a parallel life
But wait, could there be another way?
Could there be a hope transcending this monstrosity we made?
Could there be a light more bright than the shine of hate?
Could a conversation save us from the collapsing of this cave?
[Chorus]
You know it looks so pretty but it ain't got a soul
But that's the price you pay for the noise of rock and roll
When the lights come up and break the facade you find the fortune you hold
Is the sparkle of fool's gold
[Bridge]
It's a fool's gold world and we're falling for the shine
Searching for the sparkle of old because we're losing the goal of this beautiful life
We've turned our hearts to a gold mine
So we can sell what's left inside
I know there's more to this life-
[Outro]
"This is war!"
"This is war!"
"This is war!"
"This is war!"
"This is war!"
"This is war!"
"This is war!"
"This is- ah!"
