BRYØN - Hot Gold Lyrics

He told me I was precious
He told me I was rare
He told me I was different
And he lit me like a flare

He held me like a child
Like I was really there
I held him like an anchor
Till he dissolved to air

He called me too little, too much
Too hot to the touch
With fire and lust
I saw the end of us

I've swallowed copper and iron
Ashes and coals
I've boiled in embers, I've shivered and smoked

But what kind of alchemy must I under go
To turn this cold heart
Into shining hot gold

Shining hot gold
Shining hot gold
Shining hot gold
Shining hot gold

I told him I was precious
I told him I was rare
I told him I was different
And I lit him like a flare

I held him like mercury
Like the poison that he shared
He held me like fiction
Knotted poetry in my hair

He called me too little, too much
Too hot to the touch
With fire and lust
I saw the end of us

I've swallowed copper and iron
Ashes and coals
I've boiled in embers, I've shivered and smoked

But what kind of alchemy must I under go
To turn this cold heart
Into shining hot gold

Shining hot gold
Shining hot gold
Shining hot gold
Shining hot gold

And baby this body's a vessel
For more than just my bones
My shoulder blades are wings
And my ribcage is a home

Oh if you can't see me
While I'm draped in only smoke
If you can't taste my art
Then you can watch me go

He called me too little, too much
Too hot to the touch
With fire and lust
I saw the end of us

I've swallowed copper and iron
Ashes and coals
I've boiled in embers, I've shivered and smoked

But what kind of alchemy must I under go
To turn this cold heart
Into shining hot gold

Shining hot gold
Shining hot gold
Shining hot gold
Shining hot gold
