Only Gold 03:49
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

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
