valley of gold

stitch me together skin to the bone
tar to the feather king overthrown
ivory for dinner tongue to the floor
sold down the river after the war

bloodstained boots and salted wounds
couldn't keep me from you

tick tock time is killing everybody you know
tiptoe or the sand will swallow you whole
i'm on your side

sit tight for a minute and we're finally home
fall slow for the love won't save us alone
i'm on your side

scream it louder scream it louder
your name will echo through the valley of gold
scream it loud scream it louder
your name will echo through the valley of gold

truth is i'm too mortified to say just how i really feel
look here as i fall apart
every incision dull the knife made
couldn't escape me from the pain weighing on a heart

i'm losing sleep i've gotta let go of him
i'm losing me i'm losing me

you're already gone
crazy to think otherwise
about ready to jump
