Nothing Stays

Sitting in a dark, cramped basement
 Watchin' the sun go down behind the shades
 And we all try to find a way out
 Realizing there is much more to today
 And would I make you confess?
 Maybe then we'd slow down a bit
 Relax this pace, relax this pace
 When everything seems to go away
 I can hear the silver call my name
 Nothing happens when I pray, no
 Nothing happens when I pray
 No nothing gold ever stays
 No no no
 Folks finally seen the simple view
 And I've seen a way out
 Through all the bars then all I seen was you
 I've got an answer for these simple questions
 When everything seems to go away
 I can hear the silver call my name
 Nothing happens when I pray, no
 Nothing happens when I pray
 No nothing gold ever stays, yeah, oh
 And as the shadows seem to rise behind me
 I found a way to govern my ears
 And everyone tends to bind up
 Because they don't know, they don't realize their own fears
 'Cause I can't get up
 There is much more missing
 Is there something to grasp?
 When everything seems to go away
 I can hear the silver call my name
 Nothing happens when I pray, no
 Nothing happens when I pray
 No nothing gold ever stays
 No no no
 No I can't, no I can't
 I can't even take a breath
 No I can't, no I can't
 I can't even take a breath no
 When everything seems to go away
 Nothing happens when I pray
 No nothing gold ever stays
 No no no
 No nothing gold ever stays
