Fool's Gold from Action Potential by Edward Coles

Fool's gold
loose change
lost
in someone else's
siren song

Running out of wishes in
the wishing well

Hoping that something
will stick
all our promises
are counterfeit

We're running out
of clean slate
we're running
out of time

Don't say you love me
when it's clear that you don't
and don't say you'll change, darling
when it's clear that you won't

You say you're
renovating now
but you're tearing
it all apart

Running out of excuses
we're running
out of time

Don't say you love me
when it's clear that you don't
and don't say you'll change, darling
when it's clear that you won't

Don't say you love me
when it's clear that you don't
and don't say you'll change, darling
when it's clear that you won't
