You can't stop the race, people moving in place
Running a crooked path
From place to place to place (Paved in gold)

The chords from which we hang (Paved in gold)
Weaken everyday (Paved in gold)
They beg for strength (Paved in gold)

But they are blessed by our blade
Questions on our minds, buildings on the rise
Diamonds instead of our eyes

And corporate fights
O' busy, busy bees walking to and from
What if we close our eyes?

What if we can't wake up?
I hope you all rest in peace
I hope you find what you're looking for

But if it's all that you got
Well, there's got to be more
They lay carpet that's made of red

And still we walk paths made of gold
And still we're blind just past the nose
In this tree covered earth, yes, that's right

Can we disappear from all we got? [x3]
We are scattered on God's grace
We're a drip, we're a flash, we're a drip

And we're a mist, we're a speck, we got time
