about

Written as an extra-track, keith and I finished it while waiting for the drums on the last three songs to be tracked. we liked it so much, that we decided to add it to the already long disc.

It's an acoustic/electric number about recognizing that someone isn't who they portray themselves to be and refusing to be played a fool. Once you can see past a facade, contradictions are impossible to ignore.

lyrics

FOOLS GOLD

I'm digging in the same old dirt again
I picked you up
Then dropped you back in
Another souvenir I'll never keep

You may think I'm crazy...

But you're fools gold
Dazzling to the eye
Fools Gold
Never worth the price
Truth be told
You're fools gold

I'm sifting through new soil but I see
Traces and faces of similarity
Genuine is getting hard to find

You may think I'm blinded...

But you're fools gold
Still dazzling to the eye
Fools Gold
Never worth the price
Truth be told
Let the truth be told

Don't you think I'm wise enough to know?
Don't you think I'll ever be your fool
No

Fools gold
Dazzling to the eye
Fools Gold
But hardly worth my time
Truth be told
Let the truth be told
Let the truth be told

I'll never be your fool
