[Verse 1]

Close the gates, close the curtains

I can't go on when my soul is hurtin'

Sittin' here staring out the mirror

My eyes start to focus but things aren't getting clearer

Can't connect the dots

I don't know what it means

Am I just lucky or is this meant to be?

Fake it til you're not, but I can't tell if I made it

Are the gold words real

Or is it hatred gold-plated?

Tell me more, say it again

Maybe I'll believe it from the repetition

Can it be that I'm so paranoid?

I've tried to go with it but I cannot negate the void

[Chorus]

Champagne, three cheers

All falls on stone ears

Too hardened with fear

Too stubborn to hear

Champagne, three cheers

All falls on stone ears

Too hardened with fear

Too stubborn to hear

Take me back to the good old days

Before big dreams just simple ways

Didn't need much, just some sun and a friend

Now I need likes and praises on end

[Outro]

Clarity, oh Clarity, she only comes in the aftermath

Clarity, oh Clarity, she only comes in the aftermath
