{Verse 1}
Close the gates, close the curtains
I can't go on when my soul is hurtin'
Sittin' here staring out the mirror
My eyes start to focus but things aren't getting clearer
Can't connect the dots
I don't know what it means
Am I just lucky or is this meant to be?
Fake it til you're not, but I can't tell if I made it
Are the gold words real
Or is it hatred gold-plated?
Tell me more, say it again
Maybe I'll believe it from the repetition
Can it be that I'm so paranoid?
I've tried to go with it but I cannot negate the void
{Chorus}
Champagne, three cheers
All falls on stone ears
Too hardened with fear
Too stubborn to hear
Champagne, three cheers
All falls on stone ears
Too hardened with fear
Too stubborn to hear
Take me back to the good old days
Before big dreams just simple ways
Didn't need much, just some sun and a friend
Now I need likes and praises on end
{Outro}
Clarity, oh Clarity, she only comes in the aftermath
Clarity, oh Clarity, she only comes in the aftermath
