Fool's Gold

The choice is always bigger when put into retrospect As well as the pain of regret Double standard now defines my life Stripped down and abandoned Every afterthought was just a feeble attempt To justify why I never tried Why did I (why did I) never try? You may delay, but time will not So stand aside Make way for the righteous Or give it up and help us You may delay, but time will not So stand aside Make way for the righteous Or give it up and help us And now I'm running in place Masked by this shame and disgrace The choice is always bigger when put into retrospect (Into retrospect) (Into retrospect) Every afterthought was just a feeble attempt To justify why I never tried Why did I (why did I) never try? You may delay, but time will not So stand aside Make way for the righteous Or give it up and help us You may delay, but time will not So stand aside Make way for the righteous Or give it up and help us I have been stripped down I have been abandoned This is your final call (This is, this is) Will you ever wake up?
