Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Golden light streaming from your eyes

Give me a piece of the real thing

And I live with you this life

[Verse 2]

Stripped and clean

A restless wolverine

An eloquent part of the whole dance

And I stray

[Verse 3]

Tell the whole world to slow down

We gotta get off and we gotta go 'round

Tell the whole world to roll down

The window is broken, forever unspoken

Only whenever

[Verse 4]

Oh, I know that it's only gold

And I come slow now for everything

The heavy wing

Oh, I know that it's only gold

And I bleed into your pleasantries

The memory

Chemistry

[Verse 5]

Death to rise

Subtraction of advice

The criminal ties of my rival

And I'll roll these dice

[Verse 6]

Cold supply

Scraping to get by

Blatantly flooding the low rise

And I'll throw this knife

[Verse 7]

Trace me now through your innocence

Tell me it's part of the program I started

Space me now through your citizens

Tell me it's part of the whole plan now

Breaking my slow hand

[Verse 8]

Oh, I know that it's only gold

And I come slow now for everything

The heavy wing

Oh, I know that it's only gold

And I bleed into your pleasantries

The memory

Chemistry

[Verse 9]

Oh, I know that it's only gold

And I come slow now for everything

The heavy wing

Oh, I know that it's only gold

And I bleed into your pleasantries

The memory

Chemistry
