Rolo Tomassi - Old Mystics lyrics

Golden age, golden age
The world was ours for us to change
But we sat back and watched it fall
Without a single care at all come of age
Let's come of age and see the
Flaws in our old ways
To lose all sight of early days
A passing phase is held delayed
Aspirations made disintegrate, fade
Out to grey, rust and decay
A galaxy of fallen stars that hides
It's shame behind closed doors

It’s yours to decide
What is the worth of this time?
What is the worth of this?

What did you think you would become?
I misread dreams for motion
"Youthful days encaged in chains"
Denying chance whilst we drift on
Effortlessly lose it all
Sourcing these scenes to idly
Appreciate what has been laid
With no responsibility setting sun
Setting sun our darkest days have not begun
Ambitions lead to making haste
Forbidding days to go to waste
Recklessness comes with regrets
Dismiss the memories of these threats
Futile talk throughout these years to
Try and navigate our fears
Modern age, modern age
Time flies never to be regained
And still I sit back watch me rot
Ignorant to the ticking clock
Direct your sight to something new
Misfortune does not follow you
Open your eyes and explore, youth forever
Nevermore

What did you think you would become?
I misread dreams for motion
Youthful days encaged in chains
Denying chance whilst we drift on
Effortlessly lose it all
Sourcing these scenes so idly
Appreciate what has been laid
With no responsibility

Collapsing under carelessness
Resisting the unrealistic
Igniting this revelation
Youth forever, nevermore
