So tell me how to live my life and what's expected of us
What does it take to fit the mould and how you choose to fill these faded misconceptions?
I can't remember the last time we talked about other things
Than mortgages and having kids
But
Does it hurt to be like you?
The weight lies heavy on you, pressing down your shoulders and back
'No clue what causes it though', I guess I don't understand all these burdens
So please tell me now: what do you know?
If this is what shines, what makes it gold?
If this is the light, what makes it gold?
We all sacrifice our own ideals and
We all sacrifice our made up values
We all sacrifce our own
It makes it gold
I'm breaking out of this outdated way of how things should be
Your values seem so obsolete
And
It sure must hurt to be like you
The more you age it seems like you're settling for anything less
Deliberately giving up while fading in anticipated purpose
So tell me again: what do you know?
I'm not giving in, I'm sure as hell not giving in
I'm not giving in
What makes it gold
