You, who used to be my best friend

Your talking through diamonds
Liquid gold
And silver chairs
Standing on mountains
You don't recognize me
With silver hairs
My face is gray
Tired and thin
Wondering if that is what it takes
To Win
You don't want it
Anymore
Breaking your back
To tie the score
Watching fairies dance
On ice coated lakes
Losing yourself
Is just what it takes
And when you finally looked
And saw what we see
You were amazed
By what you could be
Helping yourself
To vats of cocaine
Watching diamonds pour out
Like ghostly rain
Dead girl walking
Spying on beasts
Johnny Cash singing
Hoping to please
In the background of your mind
Your dying to fit in
Giving it all up
Is where to begin
I am silver, I am gray
I don't recognize who you are today
When you looked, and saw what we see
You were appalled by what you could be

Maybe it's because you are trying to start a revolution.

Maybe we all are.
