I try to pretend I could swim away tonight
From this world I could never understand
An ocean of false pride
Oh, you say you dive for pearls and to you they mean the world
Both your eyes are fixed on stuff
Which tends to blind your third
You say you dive for pearls
To you they mean the world
Oh, I feel we could be found in silence deep within
Let's get back to the ground
Let me shake you up from sleep
And my view roams far beyond the turbulent seas
But my dreams are bound to the shore of this scene
Cause when I lay my head down I hear you rushing in my dreams
How is this a reality?
Loud and restless yet so fast asleep
Ain't we just chasing hollow gold?
Ain't we just chasing hollow gold?
Still hear your mills working as I float away
Their empty promise echoes through my brains
From dusk till day
Smoke from your stacks, smoke from your battlefields
If there have been pure aims, they now are all well concealed
You say you dive for pearls and to you they mean the world
Oh, I feel we could be found in silence deep within
Let's get back to the ground
Let me shake you up from sleep
And my view roams far beyond these turbulent seas
But my dreams are bound to the shore of this scene
Cause when I lay my head down I hear you rushing in my dreams
Oh, we're in a heavy storm, won't you wake up eventually
Instead of chasing hollow gold
Instead of chasing hollow gold
Instead of chasing hollow gold
Instead of chasing hollow gold
