Gideon

It took him righteousness
Golden chain
They say it's made of gold
But it's delusion

You picked me out of a crowd and lifted me up
I must have looked so simple in my sweater and good boy haircut
Stumbled down to GRC and got blacked out
Brazen, brassy, bellowing over oak and chestnut

I got wrapped up in your web for too long
Skipping classes, skipping phrases, skipping shadows on the wall
Crying midnight calls, and blurry boundaries
And these lines give proof that you exist
It's not the proof I need

This was never gonna end well
And it's so hard to love you now
But I'm holding so much hope
That the dark might let you out

It's so long that I don't know where to start
I know your head can't be that empty
So it must be your shrinking heart
Picking fights when you know I'll take the bait
And the longer this goes on, the more I think you like the pain

This was never gonna end well
And it's so hard to love you now
But I'm holding so much hope
That the dark might let you out
Yeah, I'm holding so much hope
That the dark might let you out
