The LaFontaines

Goldmine

A thousand empty promises never treating you honestly
I feel my reflection, just made me practice some modesty
Up for long nights, I stay for short gain
We break up - make up, wake up playing the same game

I taste like a rotten apple, you planted a bad seed
You tell me I'm an animal running a stampede
And you know, and you know
And you know, and you know

Frantic open palms, scratch at the wrong itch
You're a banquet for a lover but scream at the wrong pitch
I know your twisted remedy, taste, touch, like ecstasy
Friend for you chemically, clashing with your energy.

Hang fire all believe me
Guard up, not completely
While no one else can see me
I will see myself out

Falling, falling down, deeper and deeper, just to save my face
Dealing with people I don't know, or need up in my space
Why did we come here?

We don't mix with the same crowd
Oh you came for the spotlight
So I fade in the background

Become that actress every Friday, practice lines and don't sleep
On Sunday you feel the comedown, on Monday we don't sleep
Chasing shadows every weekend, you party with no control
I feel you kick off just to see me defending an open goal

But hang fire and stand down, on the cusp of something bleaker
Your appetite for vanity, destroyed my favourite feature
You know, and you know
And you know, and you know

Hang fire all believe me
Guard up, not completely
While no one else can see me
I will see myself out

Cause you do it to yourself,
and you came here on your own - and you know and you know
