birthday - Gems Lyrics

don't dig too deep for buried treasure
in violent caves
the darkness swears it's now or never
in a high end chase
home is a place we never are
rubies in a city full of broken hearts
and we run for the money right from the start
right from the start

in the end
it's all pretend
and if you're good
there might be a few nice words from your friends
and all of your troubles
turn into gems

don't wait too long you'll swim forever
in a drowning youth
we're all night long with no connection
in art deco ruins
home is a place we never are
rubies in a city full of broken hearts
and we run for the money right from the start
right from the start

in the end
its all pretend
and if you're good
there might be a few nice words from your friends
and all of your troubles
turn into gems
and the angels don't understand
that if we could
we might do a few things over again
and all of our troubles
turn into gems

they're not like you and I
they're not like you and I
in the end, in the end, in the end
they're not like you and I
they're not like you and I
