Streets Of Gold

Gaslights, they are burning in the dark

Giving false sensations of warmth

Silence reigning in the cold

Nothing's changed in this place I call my home

City lights blazing in the dead of night

They throw me back to a place where I've never been

And old life filled with dreams that never thrive

Just a strange imagination full of lies

On tarmac is where we crawled and played

Children free of sorrow and fear

Allegories of innocence in the dirt

And I still hear the laughter from those years

Anyway, they parted here and went astray

Leaving not a trace, nor any signs

And here I stray, staring down the alleyway

Only got my clouded thoughts to hide

It's all that I wanted

I've never been away for long

Cause every time it draws me back again

Streets of gold

I don't wanna walk them anymore

A force that chains me there will keep me anyway

Streets of gold

I don't wanna feel them anymore

I know that I need it, It'll always stay the same

City lights, will forever be the flame of life

Burning 'til my eyesight fades away

And the light once bright, getting weaker in the cold of the night,

Turn it to smoke and let it fly away!

Neon cuts the scene of dust and broken dreams

Like a glass shard in the vein

Will I ever see that dawn again?
