Fade from Gold - Banquets

Living loudly, ears on eggshells

Stepping toe, to toe, to tone

I push through all the bullshit blindly

I can rest when I’m home

Craved salvation from the outset

Trying to breathe it in

12 years of nothing that we tried so hard for

We’ll deserve it when we’re dead

Maybe it the words I said

Had some weight or worth there’d be an end

Written down, crossed out in pen

Fade from gold, fade from gold

The years took their toll and pulled the teeth out of my head

Salted the empty space, my eyes took the shade of red

I never slept at night.

Kept my damage at the foot of the bed

I never slept at night.

Kept my damage at the foot of the bed

The first time was gold

Living loudly, ears on eggshells

Stepping toe, to toe, to tone

I push through all the bullshit blindly

Craved salvation from the outset

Trying to breathe it in

12 years of nothing that we tried so hard for

We’ll deserve it when we’re dead
