Faded Misconceptions ft. Jo Bouwmeester Lyrics

So tell me how to live my life and what's expected of us

What does it take to fit the mould and how you choose to fill these faded misconceptions?

I can't remember the last time we talked about other things

Than mortgages and having kids

But

Does it hurt to be like you?

The weight lies heavy on you, pressing down your shoulders and back

'No clue what causes it though', I guess I don't understand all these burdens

So please tell me now: what do you know?

If this is what shines, what makes it gold?

If this is the light, what makes it gold?

We all sacrifice our own ideals and

We all sacrifice our made up values

We all sacrifce our own

It makes it gold

I'm breaking out of this outdated way of how things should be

Your values seem so obsolete

And

It sure must hurt to be like you

The more you age it seems like you're settling for anything less

Deliberately giving up while fading in anticipated purpose

So tell me again: what do you know?

I'm not giving in, I'm sure as hell not giving in

I'm not giving in

What makes it gold
