One track mind like a gold fish Stuck inside my petri-dish I can't breath and I can't smile This better be worth my while I feel numb most of the time The 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, p-p-p-pride Forgo family, forgo friends It's how it started, how it ends I can open up and cry 'Cause I've been saddened all my life I feel numb most of the time The 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, p-p-p-pride P-p-p-pride Ooh, I get dark, oh, 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 light Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice, sacrifice I feel numb most of the time The 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 Cough like empty lighters I feel numb most of the time The 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 Spark like empty lighters
