Fool's Gold

The choice is always bigger when put into retrospect - as well as the pain of regret Double standard now defines my life Stripped down and abandoned Every afterthought was just a feeble attempt to justify why I never tried Why did I never try? You may delay, but time will not So step aside Make way for the righteous, or give it up and help us And now I'm running in place, masked by this shame and disgrace Every afterthought was just a feeble attempt to justify why I never tried I have been stripped down I have been abandoned This is your final call - will you ever wake up?
