Only Gold

Don’t take my only gold
Don’t take my only gold
Leave it where you found it shining in the dust
Holding on to its last glow
Don’t take my only gold
Don’t take my only light
Don’t take my only light
Leave it shine another hour folding over the snow
So I can find my way inside
Don’t take my only light
For all the power I gave to you was not a god-given right
And everything you think you’ve earned
Was only given through a flawed design
And I'll take it back for good this time

Weight of the World
04:01

Sometimes you tell me I should leave here
Cause you know I'm scared to go
That I could better stand without you
And I seemed better off alone
You say you can't be what I need
But I've been around enough to know
That I can't live without that look
On your face when you come home
Chorus:
With the weight of the world
The weight of the world on your shoulders
With the weight of the world
The weight of the world on your hands
It says that I still have you
If I want you
And you know that I do
They tell me love what I have
Learn to want what I've been given
To see how far I've come
Not only what went wrong
But after years of wandering
The world is calling still to me
And I don't know how to answer
Or how to do what I just can't see
With the weight of the world
The weight of the world on my shoulders
With the weight of the world
The weight of the world on my hands
But you know that you still have me
If you want me
And you know that you do
You know that you still have me
If you want me
And I know that you do

Just Bodies
06:41
|

I will be your ghost
And you will be the land I wander through
Smaller than invisible
Floating through locked doors and through the floors
And I know this can’t last forever
Ordinary things will matter once again
But when I see you sleep I want to cease to be
So I can be the air you breath
I will be your calling
We’ll never have to work again
Daylight is so daunting
It’s safer just to stay in bed until this ends
And I know that this can’t last forever
Space and time and gravity will rise again
But while there’s nowhere to be, no one to see or be seen
Let’s finally be nothing
Are we just bodies avoiding other bodies
Are we just bodies avoiding other bodies

Be Human
02:38
|

Do you remember the mornings
And the light in winter
Of a late December
How we both felt the calm
When you could see what I saw
How little we knew
Of our worst nature
All that cruelty
We'd be capable of
But maybe nobody does
It seems we're still living
In the shadows of man
Seeking again
And still holding the hope
That we could possibly know
What it means to be human
What it means to be human
What it means to be human
