fool s gold

Motionless In White

I won t let you burn me, cheat and destroy me
Bleed and exploit me, then preach of your loyalty
If only your heart was as honest as your lust for a profit
You ll see what you threw away

You re selling fool s gold
Get what you give
See through the blindfold
Beneath the skin

Now you re playing with fire, it s never gonna stop
Climb higher and higher to be on top
Tell me, friend, is it lonely becoming the enemy?
Your castle s burning down

You see yourself a victim
Distorting the rhythm to chase the crown
(To chase the crown)
Preying on misfortune
You tell the tale of idle common ground

You re selling fool s gold, no identity
See through the blindfold
See through the roles that you play

Now you re playing with fire, it s never gonna stop
Climb higher and higher to be on top
Tell me, friend, is it lonely becoming the enemy?
Your fantasy is falling down

There will come a day with no one left to sing your song
And in the end
No one will mourn you when you re gone
No one will mourn you when you re gone

Deceiver, greed is a fever
Betrayal is cheaper
You re starting to crack
(Knife in my back)
You re crossing your fingers
The joke of you lingers
You re starting to crack
And now you can t buy it back

Still playing with fire, you re never gonna stop
No sense of remorse or an afterthought
Watch you hang from the rope
as you reach out your hand to me
Erase the memories
(Still playing with fire, you re never gonna stop)
(No sense of remorse or an afterthought) Erase the memories
I hear your voice but know not your face
What once was meaningful has all but faded away
