lyrics

GOLD IS TOLD

armed to the teeth with a tongue like a trap

pruning the growth, you severed all the limbs
inhaling philosophies that God had never breathed 

casting cultured pearls for the swine in your ears
scratching at the face of your mind, dazzled by its glow 
speaking without ever waiting to a pyrite show

you know gold is told
you know light by sight
it does not need your glow
it does not need your bite

weighing people down with things that have no weight 
throw your weight around. you’re tossed by the waves
pulling all the strings for God in a box 
you entered the ring and spurned all the knocks

you know gold is told
you know light by sight
it does not need your glow
it does not need your bite

i’m hoping it is not a pedestal you seek 

like a bulge in a wall, great is its fall
muzzle-mouth me, hot-coal-kiss me till I know the truth
muzzle-mouth me, hot-coal-kiss me till I know who you are


you know gold is told
you know light by sight
it does not need your glow
it does not need your bite
