Back Alley Sound - Gold Once lyrics

Artist: Back Alley Sound

album: I Wanted to Be


I need a new conscience
I never knew comfort
I think about you too often
I got my old man's suit and vodka to wash it
I feel empty as my pockets
I don't listen when the money's talking
I love the rips in your stockings
I know that's just like you, just a lot more honest
And bah dah dah dah dah ya oh
Bah dah dah dah dah ya
And I don't mind no peace of mind to call mine
But I draw the line til I drink what's left and I feel like
You run with the wolves every weekend
You love whatever it is you're drinking
You crave the way it burns when it sinks in
You and your demons still aren't speaking
You sleep with whoever it is you're feeling
You dove in and went straight for the deep end
You refuse to let the want to need win
You make bleeding seem as easy as breathing
And bah dah dah dah dah ya oh
Bah dah dah dah dah ya
And I don't mind no peace of mind to call mine
But I draw the line til I drink what's left and I feel like
Tied by a missing link, we lie on the brink of one too many drinks
It makes you think: it's sink or swim, and you were my anchor
I looked for answers and found what's left of ounces
A certain sorrow you swallow or drown in
You're sorry, I doubt it, you couldn't pull it off
Fool-proof, none of God; full of booze and thoughts
There's somewhere worth running to, I swear it looks like you used to
I'm in Oakland, smoking and broken for the moment
There's an ocean between us I never noticed; such a wholesome loneliness
You know oblivion has the prettiest smile
We've been going out of style for years through crocodile tears
And I will disappear at the same time as the stars in your eyes do
The same way that feeling finds you and let it define what you wish this was
And since we met we went wherever the wind told us
So what's the hold up? We were gold once
I fold, but just so you know, you don't, and I'd sell my soul
Just for this to be the the last time I can tell you I'm done cause
I don't mind no peace of mind to call mine
But I draw the line til I drink what's left and I feel like
I don't mind no peace of mind to call mine
But I draw the line til I drink what's left and I feel alright
And bah dah dah dah dah ya oh
Bah dah dah dah dah ya
Til I drink what's left and I feel alright
And bah dah dah dah dah ya oh
Bah dah dah dah dah ya
Til I drink what's left and I feel alright
