Gold Hands

Remember when we didn't pretend
When dreams were easy and worries don't last
With hearts of fire and purpose in our eyes
Now we've gone blind

Feeling like I'm
Under a knife
Never had time
Barely alive
Saw the future carved out
You had lightning in a bottle, child
Clouding my head
Housing regrets
Everything's red
Gonna collapse
Stumbled on a box of silver
Did you hear the voices say

In exchange
For this treasure
Lay it down
All you ever loved

This is where your dreams fall through
There's nothing left for you

You had a gift your hands were golden but you
Hid them away with the emotions you left behind
Cutting apart gold hands
Try to stitch em
Cutting apart gold hands
Try to stitch em

Immersed in slowly heating water
Time to get out
Then you started feeling settled
Gotta reroute
Imprisoned by your own complacency
Time to get out
You're existing in a fantasy
It doesn't have a way out
Comfort is so contagiously toxic
Fabricating a lie that you're living
Snap out of this deception, you're falling
Selling your liberties
While you dream (All you do is blame)
On and on and on
You know time and tide will leave you forgone
Dream (All you feel is pain)
On and on and on
Gone down the wrong way

Feels like I'm under a knife
(It's like I'm barely alive)
My head is housing regrets
(Everything's gonna collapse)
Feels like I'm under a knife
(It's like I'm barely alive)
Cast away, threw away, all ambition

Remember when we didn't pretend
Saw the future carved out
You had lightning in a bottle, child
When dreams were easy and worries don't last
Stumbled on a box of silver
Did you hear the voices say

This is where your dreams fall through
There's nothing left for you

You had a gift your hands were golden but you
Hid them away with the emotions you left behind
Cutting apart gold hands
Try to stitch em

Went down the road with good intentions, only
A thousand cuts were the incisions you left behind
Cutting apart gold hands
Try to stitch em
Cutting apart gold hands
Try to stitch em
