Plated Gold Songtext
von Future Static

We don′t understand why intention is our one drive
So go now, tell you what to say
Tell you what the universe expects of life
'Cause that′s what you always do

Why are the paths you cross
Directly below where they're roasting your roses?
I see what you don't, and don′t expect me to know
I see that your soul is plated gold

You′re so weak, and that's the damn line that′s insane
You would never stand to face your fucking sin, put up your frame
You paint your perfect life behind your walls of rotten, empty paint
Your intentions claim the perfect changes they've enacted
I′m not the only one that's acting, but I′m the only one saying
Fuck your propagation


Hear me (hear me)
Predict your crime
We see (we see)
Heaven's a lie

Why are the paths you cross
Directly below where they're roasting your roses?
I see what you don′t, and don′t expect me to know
I see that your soul is plated gold

Tell you what to say, you couldn't take the pain
That you protect yourself from love
It′s taken you a lifetime to design
Your projection is breaking in two

And it only takes me long to realize
Now your shadow is swallowing you

Why are the paths you cross
Directly below where they're roasting your roses?
I see what you don′t, and don't expect me to know
I see that your soul is plated gold


Why are the paths you cross
Directly below where they′re roasting your roses?
I see what you don't, and don't expect me to know
I see that your soul is plated gold
