The flashes echo
It's so blinding
It's so cold
The voices linger
Always clinging
Always close
Another day
Another war
It's me and me against
The world
When all the praise
Turns into scorn
And piece by piece
The flash is torn
And who can you trust?
Who can you know?
When all you touch
Turns into gold
Where can you breathe?
Where can you go?
The sea of faces
Drown your soul
A palace filled with luxury
Never ever looked so lonely
What can you say?
What's there to show?
This fortune
Swallowing me whole
He dreamed of mountains tops
That outlooked all the sphere
Where they could see his mark
Like a star from far and near
He flew
A bit too far
Now he can't find
No way down
So he sits
Alone tonight
With miles and miles
Of crowds
Who can you trust?
Who can you know?
When all you touch
Turns into gold
Where can you breathe?
Where can you go?
The sea of faces
Drown your soul
A palace filled with luxury
Never ever looked so lonely
What can you say?
What's there to show?
This fortune
Swallowing me whole
Oh, I'm trying to fight
Through another night
Got the world in my pocket
Still terrified
Of this gaping hole
Deep inside my soul
Oh, someone help me out
Who can you trust?
Who can you know?
When all you touch
Turns into gold
Where can you breathe?
Where can you go?
The sea of faces
Drown your soul
A palace filled with luxury
Never ever looked so lonely
What can you say?
What's there to show?
This fortune
Swallowing me whole
