1. SHINY THINGS

The point of attraction is hard to define
You follow a light when it catches your eye
My expectations misaligned
There is no substance I can find

It shows all that glitters isn't gold
As I dig deeper I grow
Shiny things are getting old
And you've just lost your glow

I suspect that you see distorted truth void of reality
The way you see yourself is but a dream

All on your own all on your own
The iron's on but no-one's home
And you don't even feel bad
You're in wonderland
Head first in the sand

Shattering your sense of worth
Bring your heightened pride back to earth

My expectations misaligned
There is no substance I can find
It shows all that glitters isn't gold
As I dig deeper I grow
Shiny things are getting old
And you've just lost your glow

Does it make you feel better
Control to the letter
The way you appear in their eyes
Yeah

It just goes to show
All that glitters isn't gold
As I dig deeper I grow
Shiny things are getting old
And you've just lost your glow
All that glitters isn't golden no
Shiny things are getting older now
