nothing stays

sitting in a dark

cramped basement

watching the sun go down behind the shades

we all try to find a way out

realizing there is much more to today

would i make you confess?

maybe then we'd slow down a bit

and relax this pace

relax this pace

when everything seems to go away

i can hear the silver call my name

nothing happens when i pray

no

nothing happens when i pray

no nothing gold ever stays

folks finally seen the simple view

and i've seen a way out

through all the bars then all i seen was you

i've got an answer for these simple questions

when everything seems to go away

i can hear the silver call my name

nothing happens when i pray

no

nothing happens when i pray

no nothing gold ever stays

and as the shadows seem to rise behind me

i found a way to govern my ears

everyone tends to bind up

because they don't know

they don't realize their own fears

i cant get up

there is much more missing

is there something to grasp?

when everything seems to go away

i can hear the silver call my name

nothing happens when i pray

no

nothing happens when i pray

no nothing gold ever stays

no i can't

no i can't

i can't even take a breath

no i can't

no i can't

i can't ever take a breath

when everything seems to go away

nothing happens when i pray

no nothing gold ever stays

no nothing gold ever stays
