Testo Marigold

Take it all

I never needed any more than days on days and gentle nights

When nothing could stop me


Keep it safe
Taking secrets to the grave

When I was the king

Just for that one day

When nothing could stop me


Feed my soul

Force a smile

Ignore the hole
Wishing like hell that I was still god

With nothing above me


Read my eyes

Weary lines

Taking what's mine

Just soil below and nothing above me


Feed my soul, marigold

I'd rather starve than choke what's killing me down

Give me heresy

We were never told the truth

The world that spoke, calm these hands

Before they can reach your throat

Give me eyes to see her never growing old

Good news

They hope you choke

Take heart

It's all fool's gold


Leave me there

Pockets full of empty air

Paying my penance, curse this prayer

Regret never touched me


She will stay, dressed in choices that I made

Head like a king, but crown like a gravestone

Don't touch me


Feed my soul, marigold

I'd rather starve than choke what's killing me down

Give me heresy

We were never told the truth

The world that spoke, calm these hands

Before they can reach your throat

Give me eyes to see her never growing old

Good news

They hope you choke

Take heart

It's all fool's gold


With these hands, I could change the world

More than gold, more that I deserve

With these hands, I could change the world

I am a wealthy man, I am loved

Tell me hope's not lost

Soon you'll see I can't take it with me

When to nothing I fade, gone, borne by the choices I made

Wake up, wake up, and soon you'll see that all hope is not lost

Not gone
