lyrics

We are intersecting lines
Long divergent, forever intertwined
but if we made an X marks the spot
will there be gold in the paths we crossed?
naive long ago
now I see my flaws are replaceable
but well how am I to understand
whats in my chest but not my hands
I can feel it all around
but I will never hold it now
oh what will these hands hold
fools gold
to feel free must I first
Stop think about my worth
cause I self-measured it to death
paid the costs now I'm in debt
I'm full of intersecting lines
man I wish my hands were as full as mind
I can never bring my dreams down to earth
without a fear that they won't hold any worth
Yeah I wish I earned
the right to be who I wish I were
because I'm just part of the supply of people faking the same lives
my hands race with hopeful anger
across the frets of rented Fenders
what will these hands hold
fools gold
[chorus]
we are intersecting lines
there's glitter in my mind
