Turn lead into gold
When you strip it from the bottom up
It's hard to tell when it's enough
Life comes at you cold
Let it be and never call the bluff
Hang tough and double up

'Cause all those words don't mean a thing now

Pop the smoke and get lost in the shadows
Pop the smoke like you don't care at all
Pop the smoke and you fade like my halo
The first thing to die is always the truth

The devil that you know
Let it slide and save your sympathy
Turn and face the wall
And the feeling that you lie to me becomes reality

And all those words don't mean a thing now

Pop the smoke and get lost in the shadows
Pop the smoke like you don't care at all
Pop the smoke and you fade like my halo
The first thing to die is always the truth

Pop the smoke and get lost in the shadows
Pop the smoke like you don't care at all
Pop the smoke and you fade like my halo
The first thing to die is always the truth
