lyrics

"Golden Mean"
by: Empty Moon

There’s no streetlights on this stretch of road
from the side it looks like her eyes are closed
and I don’t know about this anymore
crawling toward a dark green forest
it’s hard to see what’s inside of me
forcing apologies
well I’m sorry about New Years Eve
I’m sorry about so many other things

I pull her heart strings like her bikini top
she walks away she lets it drop
but she won't say stop she falls into my arms
she only covers up cause her hair is so long

but it feels like the first time I’ve ever opened my eyes

they say love is blind and I said no it’s not
if there is no time then why won’t it stop
or at least slow down until the end when it folds
water laced with pills to fill our empty molds

straight razor blade
shave off the lion’s mane
you think that’d keep him tame?
she’s only seen in the golden mean
you’d think that'd make her want to stay

whatever we do
i’ll wait for you
