Gold by Emily Horton Lyrics

Blame it on your mother all you want to
Whatever helps you go out and get wild
You took the best from me and left me all used
I could go quiet, but i'm a child

Amazing what I put up these days
Steady hands hold in place your glass walls
Throwing rocks is all I want lately
Setting fool's fire to keep the lights on

And oh, how fast the gold things go
All these rooms I'll never need to know
It's not like you were setting me free, all you know is how to keep me
You sit there stiff and stoic, turn to stone

Gold's an act of sheer folly, the way that you need me, the way that that haunts me
And gold's what's right in front of me, the pieces of puzzles you keep taking from me
And gold's how I learned my lesson, to want you, to need you, well, that's a fool's errand
And gold's how empty it must be to make yourself the lone wolf, how's carnage? How's glory?

And oh, how fast the gold things go
All these rooms I'll never need to know
If I could pen an ultimatum, let me go or learn to hate me
You stand there in the doorway, turn to stone
