Marigold

Lyrics for Marigold

Take it all I never needed any more Than days on days and gentle nights When nothing could stop me Keep it safe Take its secrets to the grave When I was the king Just for that one day When nothing could stop me Feed my soul Force a smile, ignore the hole Wishing like hell that I was still god With nothing above me Read my eyes Weary lines Taking what's mine Just soil below and nothing above me Feed my soul (feed my soul) Marigold And I'd rather starve than choke what's killing me down Give me heresy We were never told the truth The world that spoke, calm these hands Before they can reach your throat Give me eyes to see her never growing old Good news They hope you choke Take heart It's all fool's gold... Leave me there Pockets full of empty air Paying my penance, curse this prayer Regret never touched me 'Cause she will stay Dressed in choices that I made Head like a king, but crown like a gravestone Don't touch me Feed my soul (feed my soul) Marigold And I'd rather starve than choke what's killing me down Give me heresy We were never told the truth The world that spoke, calm these hands Before they can reach your throat Give me eyes to see her never growing old Good news They hope you choke Take heart It's all fool's gold... With these hands, I could change the world More than gold, more than I deserve I'm a wealthy man, I am loved Tell me hope's not lost Soon you'll see I can't take it with me When to nothing I fade, gone, borne by the choices I made I'm a wealthy man, I am loved Tell me hope's not lost Soon you'll see I can't take it with me When to nothing I fade, gone, borne by the choices I made Wake up, wake up, and soon you'll see that all hope is not lost Not gone
