Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A fever dream
Reach across the streets
The streets of legacy
Encase a throat of gold
The things we tell ourselves in the dark
[Verse 2]
Never heard what was said
To weep alone in this racing madness
Bright eyed with power
Prettiest at the ball
Grandest dreams of all
[Refrain]
Machine-like precision to rid me of concern
The empathetic creatures are hunted for reward
It's sorted
It's boring
Prosperity
[PreChorus]
Beggars worship in the street
Dropping flowers by my feet
As it is
What it was
[Chorus]
To all the old egos, we've sold
How does it grow?
Marigold
[Chorus]
To all the old egos, we've sold
How does it grow?
Marigold
[Verse 3]
Kiss the ring
Miserable degrees
A figment of our nightmare
I'll have a little fun
With a slightly loaded gun
Please, try and hear me out
[Refrain]
Machine-like precision to rid me of concern
The empathetic creatures are hunted for reward
It's sorted
You're boring
Prosperity
Prosperity
[Bridge]
Lift
Place
Proceed
I'm standing by your back door
Waiting to strike and capture
Machine-like precision
Lift
P-P-Place
Proceed
I'm standing by your back door
Waiting to strike and capture
The empathetic creatures
Machine-like precision
[Verse 4]
Blinded by my shining star
Lurching with my fat cigar
A showering of gold
[Bridge]
Secretly smoldering
Can't find peace within
Secretly smoldering (Secretly smoldering)
Can't find peace within (Peace within)
[Bridge]
Trapped in twisted spaces
Dissolve the crowd
Devour
La dee da
Trapped in twisted spaces
Dissolve the crowd
Devour
La dee da
Trapped in twisted spaces (Trapped, twisted, devour, twisted)
Dissolve the crowd (And enter)
Devour (Dark places)
La dee da
Trapped in twisted spaces (Trapped, twisted, devour, twisted)
Dissolve the crowd (And enter)
Devour (Dark places)
La dee da
[Verse 5]
As it is
What it was
Things we tell ourselves in the dark (In the dark)
In the dark (Tell ourselves)
As it is
What is was
[Chorus]
To all the old egos, we've sold
How does it grow?
Marigold
[Chorus]
To all the old egos, we've sold
How does it grow?
Marigold
[Chorus]
To all the old egos, we've sold
How does it grow?
Marigold
[Chorus]
To all the old egos, we've sold
How does it grow?
Marigold
