The Alchemist Lyrics by Grace Enger

The Alchemist (Gold Edition)

2024

[Verse 1]
I am the alchemist
I can turn rust to gold
Take out the bitterness and leave in the good I know is there
[Verse 2]
I am an optimist
I take your words for truth
And you're just a little kid with some inner work to do
[Chorus]
So wrap me in chains and pour me some poison
It's not your fault if I get disappointed
Yeah, I know this pain could be all avoided
Still I'm holding out hope
That I can turn you to gold
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
To gold
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Verse 3]
You are an archetype
Somebody's broken son
Tall with two handsome eyes, but talk to me like I'm someone (Someone, someone)
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, but you only want what you could throw away (Throw away)
While I'm tryin' to be the sun in all your rain
[Chorus]
So wrap me in chains and pour me some poison
It's not your fault if I get disappointed
Yeah, I know this pain could be all avoided
Still I'm holding out hope
That I can turn you to gold
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh, to gold
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Bridge]
And it's killing me, the fantasy
Is better than you're ever gonna be one day (One day, one day, one day)
But it's buried deep inside of me
The voice that tells me it gets better if I stay
[Chorus]
So wrap me in chains and pour me some poison
It's not your fault if I get disappointed
Yeah, I know this pain could be all avoided
Still I'm holding out hope
That I can turn you to gold
