Close the gates Close the curtains I can't go on when my soul is hurtin Sittin here, starin at the mirror Eyes start to focus, but things ain't gettin clearer I can't connect the dots I don't know what it means Am I just lucky, or was it meant to be You're a fake until you're not But I can't tell if I made it Are the gold words real Or is the hatred gold-plated Tell me more Say it again Maybe I'll believe it from the repetition Can it be that I'm so paranoid I've tried to go within but I can't navigate the void Champagne, three cheers, all falls on stone ears Too hardened with fears Too stubborn to hear Champagne, three cheers, all falls on stone ears Too hardened with fears Too stubborn to hear Take me back to the good ol' days Before big dreams just simple ways Didn't need much, just some sun and a friend Now I need likes and praises on end Clarity, oh, Clarity, she only comes in the aftermath Clarity, oh, Clarity, she only comes in the aftermath
