lyrics

GOLD & GREEN

Why can't I say a word you give me
It seams that speech has up and left me
I wrap my eyes in gold and green lame
The thoughts are parched, my beauty speeds away

Look at my thoughts, hang them on the wall
You strike my doubts, your atrophy has all
You gave me license to rip the chord apart
I lay it down, try to make a start

Green and gold, green and gold
Wrapped in words I am told
Gold and green, gold and green
Wrapped in colors I have seen

Now that you're gone I'm speaking different
I thought there is no need for hesitance
I read the letters I wrote for you to read
And thought the reasons why now it's you who flee

Look at my thoughts, hang them on the wall
You strike my doubts, your atrophy has all
You gave me license to rip the chord apart
I lay it down, try to make a start
