Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Do you think everything that meets the eye
Is exactly how it seems or a clever disguise
A remedy for apologies to make it right
For clarity to see the means through our eyes
Look to the skies
And you will see it
Tune out the lies
Don't let the people say
There's a higher price to pay
For a smile on your face
It's not a game of give or take
Don't bend and you won't break
There is another way
Take off your blindfold
Don't fall for fool's gold
There's positively definitely gotta be more
Than a life filled with greed behind locked doors
Cause even our most coveted treasures
Are really only temporary pleasures
Look to the skies
And you will see it
Tune out the lies
Don't let the people say
There's a higher price to pay
For a smile on your face
It's not a game of give or take
Don't bend and you won't break
There is another way
Take off your blindfold
Don't fall for fool's gold
Don't fall for fool's gold
Misconceptions
False impressions
Smoke and mirrors
Of self-deceptions
Don't let the people say
There's a higher price to pay
For a smile on your face
It's not a game of give or take
Don't bend and you won't break
There is another way
Take off your blindfold
Don't fall for fool's gold
Take off your blindfold
Don't fall for fool's gold
