[Intro]
Change, keep changing
Chains hold me down
Change, keep changing
Take these chains off of me
[Verse 1]
They call him names
As they see him chasing the sun
Making gold out of anything he gets his hands on
There's so much light in his soul
But nothing seems to shine as bright to other people
He's never quite comfortable
[Chorus]
But every night he returns
One step closer to the shining Sauternes
One step closer to losing his faith
He's devising and revising ways to change
This life
[Verse 2]
Is strugglе your only plan?
What's the weather in your world?
It's raining tеars of bankrupt men
Who thought they knew their worth
And then all failed to turn lead into gold
Oh, how foresight makes you inert
And you tie yourself to a thought you hate
'Cause you're not changing this world
[Chorus]
But every night he returns
One step closer to the shining Sauternes
One step closer to losing his faith
He's devising and revising ways to change
[Bridge 1]
And the rain will fall
The chains keep holding on
You can wait till the muse comes around
If you find her, she's missed
Tell her I'm the alchemist
And we won't change each other's minds
I'll stick to the grind
And that's how it gets better
[Verse 3]
People keep searching for lies to combat fear
Our best dreams all die in the arms of a compromise
If you found that you're lost and you don't have the luck to get nearer
Would you earn it? 'Cause maybe the chase is worth it
Maybe it's the only way to perfect
[Chorus 2]
This life that starts to disappear
(I know what I want)
As I start acting out of fear
(You know you won't see me in chains)
Must do more than merely what the world expects
(I'm not putting the chains on again)
And that's how it gets better
[Bridge 2]
I'm stood here with a soul full of dreams
And I'm not gonna watch them turn into regrets
[Chorus 2]
So please don't push me down this life
I know it's all in my hands
(I know what I want)
You won't see me putting the chains on again
(You know you won't see me in chains)
What will you regret when you grow old?
(I'm not putting the chains on again)
The process itself is the gold
Change, keep changing
Chains hold me down
Change, keep changing
Take these chains off of me
[Verse 1]
They call him names
As they see him chasing the sun
Making gold out of anything he gets his hands on
There's so much light in his soul
But nothing seems to shine as bright to other people
He's never quite comfortable
[Chorus]
But every night he returns
One step closer to the shining Sauternes
One step closer to losing his faith
He's devising and revising ways to change
This life
