Stare into a gleaming stone

Trying to seek new life

It glistened once now it's unrefined and cold

Try to live a perfect life

Paint our world in gold

Before we realized we were owned and sold

Reflections hurt my eyes

Waves cut me to size

Glimmer in the sun

The brilliance comes undone

Worked these minds for far too long

Set our lives in stone

The tracks that led us down are overgrown

Climb up to a past we'd lost

Now the future's old

The embers burn too bright for us to hold

Reflections hurt my eyes

Waves cut me to size

Glimmer in the sun

The brilliance comes undone

Reflections hurt my eyes

Waves cut me to size

Glimmer in the sun

The brilliance comes undone
