Songs of the Broken

Fool's Gold Road

I took a step, thought it was gold

But it's just cracks in this yellow road

Met a man, he had no brain

Thought he'd guide me, but we're the same

There he was, with a smile of glass

Said he'd be brave, but he shattered fast

I followed the yellow road

but it led me nowhere

Red shoes won't take me home

I'm stuck in this nightmare

The path ain't freedom, 

it's cracked and it's cold

I should've known, I should've known

It's just a fool's gold road

Made a friend with a hollow chest

One who's lost inside his head

Another shakes behind his face

We're all running in the same place

Heart's not ticking, can't feel a thing

Brain's too numb to hear it sing

Bravery fades in the dust I kick

This dream's a trick, this dream's a trick

I followed the yellow road

but it led me nowhere

Red shoes won't take me home

I'm stuck in this nightmare

The path ain't freedom,

it's cracked and it's cold

I should've known, I should've known

It's just a fool's gold road

A wicked laugh in the distant sky

The truth was always just a lie

Pulled back the curtain, what did I see?

A powerless man with no mercy

Emerald City's just a ghost

All the magic I needed most

Is gone

I followed the yellow road

but it led me nowhere

Red shoes won't take me home

I'm stuck in this nightmare

The path ain't freedom,

it's cracked and it's cold

I should've known, I should've known

It's just a fool's gold road

Follow the signs, but it's all for show

I'm just another fool who didn't know

It's all just a trick, it swallows you whole

another soul lost to the yellow road
