Golden

Like freedom in spring

She's alone tonight with a bitter cup and

She's undone tonight, she's all used up

She's been staring down the demons

Who've been screaming she's just

Another so and so, another so and so

You are golden, you are golden, child

You are golden, don't let go, don't let go tonight

There's a fear that burns, like trash inside

And you're ashamed of the curse that burns your eyes

You've been hidin' in your bedroom

Hopin' this isn't how the story has to go

It's not the way it goes, it's your book now

You're golden, you are golden, child

You are golden, don't let go, don't let go tonight

You're a lonely soul, inlet of broken hearts

You're far from home, it's a perfect place to start

Yeah, burn, burn, burn

So this final verse is a contradiction

And the more we learn, the less we know

We've been talkin' about a feeling

We both know inside but couldn't

Find the words, I couldn't write this verse

I've seldom been so sure about anything before

Golden, you are golden, child

You are golden, don't let go, don't let go tonight

Golden, you are

(This world is a dead man down)

Golden, child, you are

(Every breath is a singing crown away)

Golden, don't let go

(Like some debilitated king)

Don't let go tonight

Golden, you are

(Earth spins and your mind goes round)

Golden, child, you are

(Green comes on the frozen ground)

Golden

(And everything will be made new again)

Golden, golden

(Like freedom and spring)

Golden, you are

(Like freedom and spring)

Golden, child, you are, gold

(Like freedom and spring)
