Seeds of Gold

A liar of the sharpest tongue.
We can't be something that we're not.
I've met with the winged things baying,
And they feed off the winter lurking in your mind.
I can see it in your eyes;
I just want you to get out.
I just want you to get out.
But once you were beautiful enough to bear seeds of gold;
I didn't sow much.
You would hold me, and I would stare -
A pillar of salt, whisked away by the air.
Beautiful, right from the start;
I loved your soul enough to leave in the cold.
Just when I think that I'll be safer out here
By picking up the pace, covering ground,
Something is looming, wicked in these clouds,
And calling me back.
Where will I run when all these winged things circle over my head?
When you're young in the wild, living in denial,
You'll never survive.
But once you were beautiful enough to bear seeds of gold;
I didn't sow much.
You would hold me, and I would stare -
A pillar of salt, whisked away by the air.
Beautiful, right from the start;
I loved your soul enough to leave in the cold.
I don't know; I don't know; I don't know
If it's your voice that dissolves on the brittle light.
You supplicate from the place I dare not tread,
And ask me to lay myself bare.
But you are dressed in night and snow.
Beautiful enough to bear seeds of gold;
I didn't sow much.
You would hold me, and I would stare -
A pillar of salt, whisked away by the air.
Beautiful, right from the start;
I loved your soul enough to leave in the cold.
(Into the cold, I now go) Into the shroud.
(Into the cold, I now go) Into the shroud.
(Now that I know we're one in the same) Into the shroud.
(You're young in the wild, living in denial,
You'll never survive) (Now that I know we're one in the same) Into the shroud.
(You're young in the wild, living in denial)
