The Gold Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Couldn't really love you any more
You've become my ceiling
I don't think I love you any more
That gold mine changed you
You don't have to hold me any more
Our cave's collapsing
I don't wanna be me any more
My old man told me
[Pre-Chorus]
"You don't open your eyes for a while
You just breathe that moment down"
Forty miles out of East Illinois
For my old man's heart attack
[Chorus]
And I believed you were crazy
You believe that you love me
[Verse 2]
I don't wanna bark here any more
Black hills, the colly
Wasn't really dangerous for us
We'd just catch you coughing
What the hell are we gonna do?
A black mile to the surface
Well, I don't wanna be here any more
It all tastes like poison
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't open your eyes for a while
You just breathe that moment down
Forty hours out of Homestake
And I'm trying to translate you again
[Chorus]
I believed you were crazy
You believe that you love me
You and me, we're a day drink
So lose your faith in me
[Bridge]
Can't open your eyes for a while
You just beat that moment down
You can't open your eyes for a while
You just breathe
[Chorus]
I believed you were crazy
You believe that you love me
You and me, we're a day drink
So lose your faith in me
Lose your faith in me
Oh, lose your faith in me
