(Intro) (A deep, syncopated bassline slips into a heavy, swinging groove. Finger snaps hit right after the beat.) (Rhythmic, intimate whisper) Wait for the dip... Let the light in…. (Breath) (Verse 1) The sky is bleeding apricot and bruised-up plum, A heavy rush of gold making the dead veins hum. It breaks across the shoulder, slices clean through the spine, Pouring liquid amber down this ribcage of mine. I’m a prism holding fire, catching rays like a knife, A sudden rush of warmth waking the dust back to life. Every atom in the chest begins to scatter and spin, Where the horizon ends, the golden tremors begin. (Sharp click) (Pre-Chorus) (Rhythm tightens, percussive and driving) The temperature drops, but the colors are hot The darkness is stretching, hitting the spot A tickle on the neck, a ripple on the skin That’s where the alchemy begins. (Freeze) (Chorus) (Punchy, high-energy swing) It’s a GoldShivver, honey, let it rattle the bone A desert-fire fever when you’re standing alone From the nape of the neck to the tips of the toes Where the amber light breaks and the mercury flows Yeah, that’s the GoldShivver! (Catchy synth stab: Bap-bap!) (Verse 2) The sunbeams pierce the marrow, leave a path through the dark, Every silhouette is burning with a blinding spark. It’s a beautiful invasion, bleeding right through the ghost, Reaching for the places where it hurts the most. Pierced by the dawn, I’m just a vessel of heat, Feeling the vibration move from head to the feet. Locked inside the current as the shadows erase, Staring straight into the center of a burning embrace. (Gasp) (Pre-Chorus) (Rhythm tightens, breathless energy) The temperature drops, but the colors are hot The darkness is stretching, hitting the spot A tickle on the neck, a ripple on the skin That’s where the alchemy begins. (Watch it) (Chorus) (Punchy, high-energy swing) It’s a GoldShivver, honey, let it rattle the bone A desert-fire fever when you’re standing alone From the nape of the neck to the tips of the toes Where the amber light breaks and the mercury flows Yeah, that’s the GoldShivver! (Catchy synth stab: Bap-bap!) (Verse 3) Now the evidence is written in the heat of the flash, Turning all the heavy sorrows into golden ash. The stakeout is a vision where the night had to yield, Watching how the fractures of the soul get healed. A blinding revelation running thick through the blood, Drowning out the worries in a summer flood. (Hut!) (Pre-Chorus) (Rhythm tightens, maximum tension) The temperature drops, but the colors are hot The darkness is stretching, hitting the spot A tickle on the neck, a ripple on the skin That’s where the alchemy begins. (Let it hit) (Chorus) (Punchy, high-energy swing) It’s a GoldShivver, honey, let it rattle the bone A desert-fire fever when you’re standing alone From the nape of the neck to the tips of the toes Where the amber light breaks and the mercury flows Yeah, that’s the GoldShivver! (Catchy synth stab: Bap-bap!) (Bridge) (Slower, heavy, dramatic swing rhythm) Spine like a lightning rod. Sky like a crown. Watch the eastern horizon... Burn... (Snap) Up... (Snap-shiver) (Beat drops back in heavy and sharp) (Chorus) (Punchy, high-energy swing) It’s a GoldShivver, honey, let it rattle the bone A desert-fire fever when you’re standing alone From the nape of the neck to the tips of the toes Where the amber light breaks and the mercury flows Yeah, that’s the GoldShivver! (Outro) (Fading out with a tight, rhythmic pulse and fading snaps) Gilded nerves. Electric spine. The new dawn breaks... And the shiver is mine. (GoldShivver...) (Breath) (Final snap) [Whisper] It’s a GoldShivver
