R-Three - The Golden Center lyrics

I saw the man

feeding on twelve lumps of coal

I felt the draw of his personal need,

felt myself fall into his soul.

A baker's dozen falling into

his soul

I held the man,

still losing my way

showered by a hail of guilt

I turned my back and stumbled away

I left him down and stumbled

my way

You can walk away

you can search for days

for all things in the world that are true

but the golden center is: you

the golden center...

I found the man

lying in a field of woe

I reached inside him, my breath held still

I felt his blood stain my hands

and had to let go

Left for dead in the world

below

You can run away

you can fast for days

or taste all in the world for what's true

but the golden center is you

he got in line with the rest

pealed the mask from his face

cast the smile away

corrupt with disgrace

he discarded belief

fragmented by grief

he lived the big damage

he lived

the big damage

he chose

the big damage

He chose.

He walks alone

down a road of despair

sees through a glass stained darkly

without hope of repair

Between rage and forgiveness

is a life so unfair

Is life so unfair?

You can run for days,

You can hide away,

go down fighting, for pride

like a fool

(but) the golden center is you

The golden center is you

The golden center is you

There's no ‘blood & pain', no

streets coated in rain...

...you can run for days....

you can run for days..

...you can run for days...

... run away

the golden center...

taste all in the world,

for the things that are true

love all of the girls,

for the one who'll love you

run from the beauty

that you have inside you

rage at yourself

when you don't have a clue

The golden center is you

the golden center is you
