Everything Visible Is Made of Gold

[Verse 1]
Wait, in your throat, there's a knife and its shadow
Break through the glass, through the veil, through the curtain
I don't mind when the illusion stops
Hey, in your hair, I could bloom like a garden
With both my eyes in your hands, little vermin
And now the tepid light of thought

[Chorus]
I've got situations planned
I've written manuscripts in digital format
When I retire from being a man
I'd like to leave my body under the water

[Verse 2]
You, in your mouth, there's a weight, there's an island
The sky's rotten teeth start to fade into nothing
But I know where your statue stands
I wake in cold sweat right beside a golden lion
Its paws on my chest, all time now suspended
It sings and carries me to sleep

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
'cause that's the story we all want
I'll be forgotten when I'm gone
The marks on my headstone have withered away
But I haven't even been to my grave
That's the story we all want
