lyrics

Everyday I look for the same thing
Lost paradise, wonderful something else
Never enough again and again
I feel like I need to be perfect

Am I only worth that lipstick? Or perfume?
Will it ever clean my sorrow? Keep me in the land of youth?

I look in the mirror and I see Sunken city
Real diamonds within
What a discovery

Everyday I look for the same thing
Divine fire, city of golden gates
Chasing the voice, the voice in my head
Of some silly silly advertisement

Do I have to keep pretending?
That I have no pain?
No wrinkles and no understanding?
That soul grows on rough terrain

I look in the mirror and I see Sunken city
Real diamonds within
What a discovery

Turn the tide, turn the tide
