Empire of Gold - Liquid Gold Lyrics

Here I am in darkness with my liquid gold
Trying to find a story that I've never told
Will I sing of sadness or unspoken joy
Who am I kidding; That's the only joy I know
So give me happiness; I'll pawn it off for gold
Give me melancholy; Then I'll shape my soul
I wasn't always damaged; Wasn't always bored
I wasn't always drinking through my darkest storms

So now my words are slurred drinking my liquid gold
Trying to leave a legacy before I'm old
But darkened chords and a pitchy voice are all I have
'Cause I'm a slave; I'm a Lemming to our Uncle Sam
He leaves me broke and broken; Oh I'm breaking down
That's why I need the bottle to produce my sound
So please excuse my language. Please ignore my lies
'Cause it's all made up from mindless self-indulgent nights

So now I'm stumbling down; Drank all my liquid gold
Another clumsy chord while my late night unfolds
I've fallen victim to my insecurities
I started off so tired, now my mind won't sleep
And heavy eyes will see my scribbled, riddled page
The only good that comes from all my drunken rage
As I awake and wait to feel the pain unfold
It's back to work, 'till next time
Precious liquid gold
