[Intro: Nick Shillito]
It's time to scream a lullaby, one which won't be heard
It won't matter if I'm out of tune, that's one thing I've learned
It's time like these I'm petrified, I'm trying to find the words
I love it when my mouth is dry but hate it when it hurts
Maybe I'm just sad and bored, I'll take you to a special place
I'm sitting in my room again, beauty, longing, love and grace
I'd paint it but my easel's gone, my brush is in a mangled state
My canvas is in tattered shreds, my pallette is a broken plate
[Pre Chorus: Nick Shillito]
And I fell hard to her smiling ways
Why's everything you touch just turn to gold?
[Verse 1: Nick Shillito]
She's the queen of the universe
She's dancing on my mind
You've a special place you the heart you ripped out
I wrote this song for you
But I doubt you'll hear it
If you weren't worth something, then why didn't I let go?
[Chorus: Nick Shillito]
And I fell hard to her smiling ways
Why's everything you touch just turn to gold?
In the moment, wish that I had changed
Why's everything you touch just turn to gold?
[Outro: Nick Shillito, Adam Blackwell]
Let's paint a perfect picture
Paint a broken picture
Let's paint a perfect picture
And see who has the last laugh
Let's paint a perfect picture
Paint a broken picture
Let's paint a perfect picture
And see who has the last laugh
[Outro: Nick Shillito]
You've opened up your ears
So why aren't you listening?
'Cause everything you've touched has turned to gold
