Lyrics

The Gold (acoustic)

I couldn't really love you any more
You've become my ceiling
I don't think I love you anymore
That gold mine changed you
You don't have to hold me anymore
Our cave's collapsing
I don't wanna be here anymore
My old man told me

"You don't open your eyes for a while
You just breathe that moment down"
Forty miles out of East Illinois from my old man's heart attack

And I believed you were crazy
You believed that you loved me

I don't wanna bark here anymore
Black hills, the colly
Wasn't really dangerous for us
We just catch you coughing
What the hell are we gonna do
A black mile to the surface
Well I don't wanna be here anymore
It all tastes like poison

You can't open your eyes for a while
You just breathe that moment down
Forty miles out of Homestake
And I'm trying to translate you again

And I believed you were crazy
And you believed that you loved me
You and me, we're a day drink
So lose your faith in me
Ooh oh
Ooh oh

Can't open your eyes for a while
You just breathe that moment down
You can't open your eyes for a while
You just breathe

And I believed you were crazy
You believed that you loved me
You and me, we're a day drink
So lose your faith in me
