Lyric Fool s Gold

My head is heavy and bent like a crane
The wrecking ball blues are coming again
Latham says, "Babe, you know life is a ride,"
But livin s no fun when you re dead inside

I pierce myself to wake up my veins
I d pierce my heart if I thought things would change
I m just like skin that s been stung and restung
Campfire songs that are sung and resung
For a girl my age why am I so numb?

I m chasing a lie I was sold
Running down thieves and fool s gold
These Christmas dreams are just painted coal

I been swallowed up by greed, I ve been spat upon by lust
They ain t playin with your money they re playin with your trust
And I m tryin so hard to stop sitting still
To gather the juice that s been spent or been spilled
Found a spark in myself that hasn t been killed
Cause if Death doesn t get ya then Life surely will

I m chasing a lie I was sold
Running down thieves and fool s gold
These Christmas dreams are just painted...

We ve been chasing a lie we were sold
We re running down thieves and fool s gold
These Christmas dreams are just painted, just painted
Just painted, just painted
Coal...

Talk about an early frost
