One track mind like a goldfish
Stuck inside my petri dish
I can't breathe and I can't smile
This'd better be worth my while
I feel numb most of the time
Lower I get, the higher I'll climb
And I will wonder why
I got dark only to shine
Looking for the golden life
Oh it's a reasonable sacrifice
Burn, burn, burn bright
Forego family, forego friends
It's how it started, how it ends
I can't open up and cry
'Cause I've been silent all my life
I feel numb most of the time
Lower I get, the higher I'll climb
And I will wonder why
I got dark only to shine
Looking for the golden life
Oh it's a reasonable sacrifice
Burn, burn, burn bright
Burn, burn, burn bright
Ooh, I get dark, ohh, and I'm in hell
I need a friend, ooh, but I can't yell
Yeah I'm no good, no good to anyone
'Cause all I care about is being number one
Shine, looking for the golden life
Oh it's a reasonable sacrifice
Shine, looking for the golden life
Oh it's a reasonable sacrifice, sacrifice
I feel numb most of the time
Lower I get, the higher I'll climb
And I will wonder why
I got dark only to shine
And I light up the sky
Stars that burn the brightest
Fall so fast and pass you by
Puff like empty lighters
I feel numb most of the time
Lower I get, the higher I'll climb
And I will wonder why
I get dark only to shine
And I light up the sky
Stars that burn the brightest
Fall so fast and pass you by
Spark like empty lighters
Dum-da-dum da-dum da-dum
Dum-da-dum da-da-ah-ah
Dum-da-dum da-dum da-dum
Dum-da-dum da-da-ah-ah
