lyrics

It’s coming down so hard, Taking out the stars
This life is just a game, We’re drowning in the fame
City of Gold
I’ve known it all along, The fire inside has gone
The joke has gone too far, Ashamed of who we are
City of Gold
It’s a hard road ahead
Who’s to say I’ve lost my way
Someday soon I’ll be dead
City of golden..
Dreams of the stardom, that sink to the bottom
And fall from the glory, a typical story

In whom we live and move and breathe
A sense of shame comes over me
Step off the stage into life
Making a break from the lie
