Archie - Clarity lyrics

{Verse 1} Close the gates, close the curtains I can't go on when my soul is hurtin' Sittin' here staring out the mirror My eyes start to focus but things aren't getting clearer Can't connect the dots I don't know what it means Am I just lucky or is this meant to be? Fake it til you're not, but I can't tell if I made it Are the gold words real Or is it 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 with it but I cannot negate the void {Chorus} Champagne, three cheers All falls on stone ears Too hardened with fear Too stubborn to hear Champagne, three cheers All falls on stone ears Too hardened with fear Too stubborn to hear Take me back to the good old 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 {Outro} Clarity, oh Clarity, she only comes in the aftermath Clarity, oh Clarity, she only comes in the aftermath
