Gold

is my life worth living if I'm not giving?

I want all the diamonds in the world

but you can't make diamonds without creating a mess

I wish we all lived life the way we were supposed to

laughing, dreaming and swimming in the most beautiful beaches in the world

and everyone created equal

instead some get sick and fall off bridges while I lay down in a field of lavender

and no roses around me ever had thorns

I've only been bitten by this awful song

that plays in every home

our bodies tarnish like rusted gold

we are not pure but have no currency

we are temporary

and the coins come in different shape

some large some small 

and ultimately they are left to rot somewhere on the shore of a broken land

is my life worth living if I'm not giving?

I want to make every light shine like it was supposed to

to clean the jewels that have never ever been given any thought

just to rinse it off with aluminum foil

and make it shiny again

restore all of its pain

is my life worth living if I'm not giving away my wealth?
