Gold Lyrics by Alex Ebert

I vs I

2019

[Intro]
Love myself every day
Love my fear, my fear go away
Love my pain, my pain is my teacher
Love my anger, for the anger my leader
It lead me to pain, that lead me to change
That makes me the witness, that gave me forgiveness
And give me perspective like “Holy Objective!”
I gotta treat you as myself

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I love the world, fuck that, I'm corny
Baby it’s love, surly ain't money
Treat me that cold shoulder like “brrr”
I make a snow cone with it, sir
Yes, I feel alright, this shit is work though
People are whack, society hurtful
I gotta meditate like I'm a nerd
I got a mantra, here are the words:

[Refrain]
I shine gold
All the pain inside shining gold
All that we survive turn to gold
Everything I touch... gone

[Verse 2]
Do you know why I smile? Dude, ’cause I work at it
Breathing, repeating: “You deserve love”
This shit ain't natural, how many actual people are following love?
I gotta take walks outside, breathe in my nostrils side-to-side
Jump like a frog, dance in the fog
Just to be someone who don't want to die!

[Interlude]
I'm not naturally happy
I'm not well-adjusted like y'all
I think about suicide
In morning, noon, and nightfall

[Verse 3]
I was on crack, I was a hillbilly, you remember that?
I was a hump, blood on the tracks, I never shot up but heroin black
But baby, I'm back, wherever you at, gutter to glitter, wherever you at
Gutter to, oh, no

[Refrain]
I shine gold
All the pain inside shining gold
All that we survive make us whole
Everything you touch shining gold (eh)
I shine gold
All the pain inside shining gold
All that we survive shining gold
Everything you touch...

[Bridge]
Everything you touch
Gold
Everything you touch
To gold
To gold
Everything you touch
Everything you touch
To gold

[Outro]
Got the urge to sit by the fire
Alone, alone
To gold
