I’ve always really liked this song. The thought of “Gaining the whole world” and ending up alone has always scared me. I can get so caught up in my work. Often forgetting my calling is to love the people around me well. Not building up my kingdom to realize no one’s around. Love you all. Hope you like the update on this track with more guitar!
[Verse 1]
The flashes echo it′s so blinding it’s so cold
The voices linger always clinging always close
Another day another war it’s me and me against the world
When all the praise turns into scorn piece by piece the flesh is torn
[Chorus]
And who can you trust? Who can you know?
When all you touch turns into gold
Where can you breath? Where can you go?
The sea of faces drown your soul
A palace filled with luxury
Never ever looked so lonely
What can you say? What′s there to show?
This fortune swallowing me whole
[Verse 2]
He dreamed of mountain tops that outlooked all the sphere
Where they could see his mark like a star from far and near
But he flew a bit too high now he can’t find no way down
So he sits alone tonight with miles and miles of crowds
[Chorus]
Who can you trust? Who can you know?
When all you touch turns into gold
Where can you breath? Where can you go?
The sea of faces drown your soul
A palace filled with luxury
Never ever looked so lonely
What can you say? What’s there to show?
This fortune swallowing me whole
[Bridge]
Oh I′m trying to fight through another night
Got the world in my pocket still terrified
Of this gaping hole deep inside my soul
Oh someone help me out
[Chorus]
Who can you trust? Who can you know?
When all you touch turns into gold
Where can you breath? Where can you go?
The sea of faces drowns your soul
A palace filled with luxury
Never ever felt so lonely
What can you say? What′s there to show?
The fortune swallowing me whole
