lyrics

Gold Plated
but always underneath
I couldn't fake it
Oh, you crooked jewellers
You won't get much

Agate
Would you recognise it
In the daybreak
Oh, no clever lighting
To exaggerate your view

Held your palm up to the sky
And watched it crystallise!
Fingertips became a spire
All rusted in the evening light
Shoulders started sloping down
And drew the rain away from you
Wistful eyes became stained glass
In lovely light of green and blue

Faintly
Ice is forming slowly
On the still parts
So I try to move my heart
Even though

Weigh me
The mattress doesn't sink since things got empty
And oh so ordinary
How we break in two

You started bowing low and then
Your bones became the walls
Drew a gasp and closed the doors
And soon after silence falls
Watch the vines climb high and wild
And now, until you're out of view
Standing proud and now the tourists
They can come and visit you
