Fool's Gold - Rocky Votolato

Like dead leaves floating on

Black river water

Voices carried by the current under the surface

It holds the whispers down until it

Suffocates the sound

Of any voice of reason

You’re not even listening

You’re chasing fool’s gold

Chasing fool’s gold

Everybody knows that illusion is a prison

Leave it underground

Where you found it

Fool’s gold, leave it alone

Like looking for the morning water’s reflection

Looking for the truth in a holy translation

When the moonlight is shining in the sky

The keys hide behind your eye

You reach out through smoke, you try to hold

To a broken mirror

It disappears

It’s a fool’s gold

Chasing fool’s gold

Leave it alone

What you do with you time

It screams so loud

I can’t hear a single word come out of your mouth

You can’t see that hook hiding under the shining of--

You’re chasing fool’s gold

Chasing fool’s gold

Chasing--

Keep on searching

One day you’ll be free

Keep on searching

One day you’ll be free
