Gold - Alex Ebert

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, which lead me to change

Which makes me the witness

Which gives me forgiveness

Which gives me perspective

Like «Holy Objective!»

I gotta treat you as myself

I love the world

Fuck it, I’m corny

Maybe it’s love

Sure it ain’t money

Gimme that cold shoulder like «brrr»

I make a snow cone with it, sir

Yes, I feel alright

This shit is work tho

Society’s whack

People are hurtful

I gotta meditate like I’m a nerd

I got a mantra, here are the words:

I shine gold

All the pain inside

Shining gold

All that we survive

Turn to gold

Everything I touch

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!

I’m not naturally happy

I’m not well-adjusted like y’all

I think about suicide

In morning, noon, and nightfall

I was on crack

I was a hillbilly, you remember that

I was a gun

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

I shine gold

All the pain inside

Shining gold

All that we survive

Make us whole

Everything you touch

Shining gold

I shine gold

All the pain inside

Shining gold

All that we survive

Shining gold

Everything you touch

Everything you touch

Gold

Everything you touch

To gold

To gold

Everything you touch

Everything you touch

To gold

Got the urge to sit by the fire

Alone, alone

To gold
