Hotboxing that car, passing the peace pipe, during my lunch-break
Squad car to my left, or to the back, hold up, gotta walk straight
Walking one foot in front of the other, watch out for that tree
This is thing is laced with hashish, the dust of angels, some pcp
Back in class, body buzzing, looking at every moment frame by frame
Rocket to Mars, another plane of existence, by the end of the day
Noticing every detail, getting lost in the moment, rewind the tape
Times frozen, leaving that painful reality, the great escape
All that glitters not gold (not gold)
All that glitters not gold (not gold)
Everybody it's a party (caught up in the shine)
but it's empty
All that glitters not gold (not gold)
All that glitters not gold (not gold)
Everybody it's a party (caught up in the shine)
but it's empty (I feel empty)
Dreams wrapped in glitter, but the reality is cold
The hard truth, the rubber meets the road, that all that glitters is not gold.
I've lost the power to reason, the power to think, I can't find
They coming to get me, fear and paranoia gnawing at the mind
Sense of hopelessness, a loss of purpose, but I need a fix
It's off to Never Never Land, the monster's lurking in the abyss's under the surface, ready to come up and seize
My life, take it back beneath the surface, to the dungeons and squeeze
The life, it's draining out of my body, I'm going lifeless
I don't know what's up or down, to know the way out would be priceless
I'm less than dust, the fear, the pain, and rage are welling up inside of me
Constant sense of emptiness, where am I going to find my relief
All that glitters not gold (not gold)
All that glitters not gold (not gold)
Everybody it's a party (caught up in the shine)
but it's empty
All that glitters not gold (not gold)
All that glitters not gold (not gold)
Everybody it's a party (caught up in the shine)
but it's empty (I feel empty)
