Manchester Orchestra - The Gold (Original Demo) Lyrics

Manchester Orchestra Lyrics

"The Gold (Original Demo)"

Couldn't really love you any more
You've become my ceiling
I don't think I love you anymore
That gold mine changed you
You don't have to hold me anymore
This cave's collapsing
I don't wanna be me anymore
My old man told me:

"You don't open your eyes for a while
You just breathe that moment down."
Forty hours out of East Illinois
From my father's heart attack

I believed you were crazy
You believed you loved me
You and me, we're a daydrink
You lost your faith in me

I don't wanna bark here anymore
Black coal, the colly
Wasn't really dangerous for us
We caught you coughing
Where the hell are we gonna go?
It'll be a lung collapsing
I don't wanna be here anymore
It all tastes like poison

Can't open your eyes for a while
You just breathe that moment down
Forty hours out of East Illinois
For my father's heart attack

I believed you were crazy
You believed you loved me
You and me, we're a daydrink
Have some faith in me
