The Quiet Gold

[Verse] They draped me in silver they crowned me with stone Said here is your kingdom but it felt so alone I looked in the mirror the weight didn’t shine The gold on my shoulders was never mine [Prechorus] What’s a throne when it’s empty What’s a song with no sound [Chorus] The quiet gold is deeper still Not in the crown not in the thrill It’s the hush the breath the space you fill The quiet gold is deeper still [Verse 2] I chased every shadow thought I’d find the light Counted my worth in the noise of the night But the stars never answered they just stood still Their silence whispered I had the will [Prechorus] What’s a path when it’s hollow What’s a fire with no flame [Chorus] The quiet gold is deeper still Not in the crown not in the thrill It’s the hush the breath the space you fill The quiet gold is deeper still
