Golden

Lyrics

How cruel is the golden rule  
When the lives we lived are only golden plated?  
And I knew that the lights of the city were too heavy for me  
And though I carry karats for everyone to see  
  
And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies  
And all the lovers with no time for me  
And all of the mothers raise their babies  
To stay away from me  
  
Tongues on the sockets of electric dreams  
Where the sewage of youth drowned the spark of my teens  
And I knew that the lights of the city were too heavy for me  
And though I carry karats for everyone to see  
  
And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies  
And all the lovers with no time for me  
And all of the mothers raise their babies  
To stay away from me  
And pray they don't grow up to be
