[The Sinking Gold] [ Verse 1: Male Vocals ] We stand upon the hollowed wooden floor. The shadows stretch across the cellar door. Above the glass, the upper chamber clears. The mountain grows to tally all the years. [ Chorus 1: Male and Female Duet ] We hold on tight as pressure starts to bend. And every start must find a bitter end. The gravity pulls what we keep inside. Nowhere to run and nowhere left to hide. [ Verse 2: Female Vocals ] Hot wax. Thick lead. Sealing up the seam. We fight to stop the leaking of our dreams. Cold glass. Dead weight. Dragging down the shelf. The clock begins to hollow out itself. [ Chorus 2: Male and Female Duet ] We hold on tight as pressure starts to bend. And every start must find a bitter end. The gravity pulls what we keep inside. Nowhere to run and nowhere left to hide. [ Bridge: Male and Female Duet ] One grain. Caught now. Shaking. Thin. Gold dust against the trembling skin. The narrow neck holds the weight of gold. Before the void takes everything we hold. [ Verse 3: Male Vocals ] A muffled pulse against the silent gears. A sudden dark as every vision clears. The vessel sits upon the dusty stone. We face the quiet, standing all alone. [ Final Chorus: Male and Female Duet ] We let go now as the pressure starts to break. We gave away more than we could ever take. Gravity claimed what was never ours to keep. The silence falls and the hollow room is deep. [ Outro: Female Vocals ] Empty glass. Deepened shadows. Let it go. Let it go.
