Gold

Golden heart? Never met one, don’t know how they sound

Mine’s heavy in my chest, dragging underground

Rusted gears grind where my love used to be

Echoes in the hollow, walls caving in

Black as ink spills on a moonless night

Burnt-out bridges, no end in sight

I’m the shadow in the mirror, cracked and split

Cursed with this furnace where my soul used to sit

Tell me, what’s the glow feel like?

Does it burn or does it glow bright?

Golden heart, never had one

All I know is my heart has gone black

Faded light, no end in sight

Golden dreams I’ll never get them back

Fingers clutch the air, trying to hold onto the past

Time is my thief, he moves too fast

Violin strings cry, they my weeping soul won’t rest

Bassline stomps, let the pain begin

Hunger in my chest, it devours me whole

Anger’s a leash that chokes my soul

Golden heart? Might as well chase the wind

Mine’s caged where to begin
