Empire Springs - Golden Lyrics

You can see right through me
Always getting what you want
Just to find a way into the picture
But this reflection knows me
It's looking past me to the north
And you aren't one to hesitate are you?
Now I'm stuck
In this cycle
With no way out
And now I'm falling backwards
Burn it all in fake desire
You'll pretend you can't and then you'll walk away
From my changing colors
Poised to hit them where it hurts the most
With a careful aim
And a steady hand I know
Now I'm stuck
In this cycle
With no way out
Can you see my rope is wearing thin?
Can you feel my shaking hands are tied?
I'm tracing lines of shapes I've never known
Please don't make this any harder on me
Because I'm already drowning
Vigilant in false self perception
Holding out ideals that you can't reach
Can you see my rope is wearing thin?
Can you feel my shaking hands are tied?
I used to think that I would always stay golden but
I'm turning crimson in this new light
A darker sense of perspective
It was handed to me, now it's my turn
Can you see my rope is wearing thin?
Can you feel my shaking hands are tied?
I can see that look that's in your eyes
Are you drowning like I'm drowning?
