Archie - Clarity Lyrics

Close the gates
Close the curtains
I can't go on when my soul is hurtin
Sittin here, starin at the mirror
Eyes start to focus, but things ain't gettin clearer
I can't connect the dots
I don't know what it means
Am I just lucky, or was it meant to be
You're a fake until you're not
But I can't tell if I made it
Are the gold words real
Or is the hatred gold-plated
Tell me more
Say it again
Maybe I'll believe it from the repetition
Can it be that I'm so paranoid
I've tried to go within but I can't navigate the void
Champagne, three cheers, all falls on stone ears
Too hardened with fears
Too stubborn to hear
Champagne, three cheers, all falls on stone ears
Too hardened with fears
Too stubborn to hear
Take me back to the good ol' days
Before big dreams just simple ways
Didn't need much, just some sun and a friend
Now I need likes and praises on end
Clarity, oh, Clarity, she only comes in the aftermath
Clarity, oh, Clarity, she only comes in the aftermath
