Iron Effigy - Golden Boy Lyrics

Thank God
The agony subsided
I've seen life renewed with hardly any thought
Short kiss
This wave is dead, I'll ride it
Until the last time that I see you in that dress
Take my joy
I know I don't deserve to have it
Golden Boy
Tell me your dreams and I'll proceed
To laugh it off
I'll laugh it off
I'm afraid
Of chasing something people tell me
Is a waste
You say keep pursuing this and soon
You'll die alone
I'll die alone
Long days
Never reunited
I kept pieces of the jars we made of clay
My eyes
Are heavy and shortsighted
But still I'm searching for something I don't despise
Take my joy
I know I don't deserve to have it
Golden Boy
Tell me your dreams and I'll proceed
To laugh it off
I'll laugh it off
I'm afraid
Of chasing something people tell me
Is a waste
You say keep pursuing this and soon
You'll die alone
I'll die alone
And a voice says
Look up
Take in the horizon
Breathe in deep and see that you've found freedom
Strip down
Get rid of all your burdens
The world is yours, just go and take it now
Give me joy
I'm least of all deserving but I'm a
Golden Boy
I'll scream my dreams, I'm free and I
Can laugh aloud
I'll laugh aloud
Unafraid
Of chasing this for my whole life, it's
Not a waste
To know I'll die having tried to find
What lights my fire
You light my fire
Thank God
The agony subsided
I've seen life renewed with hardly any thought
Golden Boy
