fool's gold Lyrics

Four walls, no paint

White carpet, juice stains

Your shaggy blonde hair under the horizon line

Filled with pine

Empty room, hot glue

A hole in my costume

September laughter floating from the trees at noon

You blink and it's June

I look at the veins in my hands

And I can't

Trace the lines back from distant lands

I count the freckles on my arm

But I can't connect the dots

Don't be alarmed

I'll live somewhere in the hazy memory

Between four walls covered in

Fool's gold

You'll tap my shoulder

I'll run and chase the older version of me

Down the same street

Squeaky chair, ripped lace

Tight ponytail, a frown on your face

November winds, invisible piles of ice

The living feels nice

I look at the veins on my hands

And I can't

Trace the lines back from distant lands

I count the freckles on my arms

But I can't connect the dots

Don't be alarmed

Don't be alarmed

I won't find peace in time

My face will get thinner

I'll punch the walls

They're just

Fool's gold

A house, a home

Who can tell the difference?

Memories

They deceive

Fool's gold

I'm no fool for believing it was real gold

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I'll live somewhere in the hazy memory

Between four walls covered in fool's gold

You'll tap my shoulder

I'll run and chase the older version of me

Down the same street

I won't make peace with time

My face just gets thinner

I punch the walls they're just

Fool's gold

A house, a home

Who can tell the difference?

Memories

They

They deceive
