Gold From Afar

from S​/​T by Last Penance

lyrics

I am eaten alive
by the chase of perfection
the ambition that burns from within
That will not accept anything

It’s all gold from afar
If you keep your distance, when you keep your distance
The closer you get,
the more it falls apart

The goal is gold from afar
and tin from up close
The journey is mundane
And never worth the cost
And though I cannot get there
And I am not fine here
Weary, tired
I can never get near

I always look at the summit
To the harshest track I do commit
I always look at the summit
I do commit

It’s all gold from afar
If you keep your distance, when you keep your distance
The closer you get,
the more it falls apart

I have the urge to leave,
to set sail and go
I will not suffer this fate anymore
I want to be, finally be
But I’m only becoming, always becoming
Never the final outcome
Always a work in progress
And for all that I’ve done
I feel regret
That I cannot grasp,
Cannot comprehend
That the goal is to be becoming
always becoming
always becoming more
