fool's gold

The minute I think
That things aren't so grim
Life changes its course
Why's it sink or swim
Tried floating away
From feeling worn down
But my ankles are shackled
Now i'm left on the ground

Am I a fool
To want to be
Happier than
What I can foresee
If joy's a lie
Then paint it in gold
Cause I want to want it, even if it's just to hold

Even if it's just to hold

I'm losing my shit
Motivation's run dry
And all I can do
Is sit right here and cry
It's crazy that one
Feeling can destroy
Somebody's whole mind
Break it like it's a toy

Am I a fool
To want to be
Happier than
What I can foresee
If joy's a lie
Then paint it in gold
Cause I want to want it, even if it's just to hold

Am I a fool
To want to be
Happier than
What I can foresee
If joy's a lie
Then paint it in gold
Cause I want to want it, even if it's just to hold

Even if it's just to hold
