"The Voice" lyrics

One day, a voice called out to me
Talking like someone I used to be
Talking like someone in a fever dream
I told the voice to go away
Sounded like something I wouldn't say
Sounded like a role I've learned to play

The voice said, "Go to the mountain peak
Go find the gold that's buried deep
Go find the gold
That's where we'll meet"

Gold dripping from the vein
Running down the mountain
Running through the plains
Gold dripping from the vein
Running down the mountain
Running from the pain

So I climbed to the mountain peak
Digging in the mine on my hands and knees
Digging in the mine on my hands and knees
Suddenly, the voice came thundering
"You know that the gold won't change a thing"
That's when the water came
That's when the water came rushing in

Gold dripping from the vein
Running down the mountain
Running through the plains
Gold dripping from the vein
Running down the mountain
Running from the pain

When I awoke from the fever dream
I was laying on a sandy beach
With three bags of gold laying next to me
So I took all the gold, and I closed the door
To keep out the dreams that I had before

And now I don't hear that voice no more
