Sails

Citizens of a starless sky

They've stolen the sun, and held it for ransom

An endless greed, unsatisfied

Can see the blood on their hands does more than just feed them

It's there for a reason

Because for all we know

All this is just a dream

Things are not exactly as they seem

Some time to sit back and just have a drink

Another man might just believe what he's told

But I'm on my way to being bought and sold

Can't wait to measure my blood out in gold and platinum sales

So drink the wine, boy, drink it down

The past is forgone, replaced by this moment

And we're shadows of ourselves

Confined to shelves, with nothing left to say

Content to fade away

Cause for all we know

All this is just a dream

Things are not exactly as they seem

Some time to sit back and have a drink

But getting is easy without any soul

With each empty promise it keeps getting old

Learning to measure my blood out in gold and platinum sales

Have I just failed?

Or lost sight of the trail

If all this is just a dream

Things might not be quite as bad as they seem

I'll probably sit back and have a drink

Another man might just believe what he's told

But I'm on my way to being bought and sold

See them setting their sails for the gold and platinum skies
