Gold Bloom [Slow, intimate vocal. Warm organ swells. Dub bass remains heavy but comforting. Grunge textures become radiant and expansive.] [Verse 1] Morning through the curtains Dust dancing in the gold A warmth upon the windowsill Where the mildew used to hold Wallpaper still remembers Every season of the gloom But now the light is reaching Every corner of the room I named every shadow You answered every one Quiet as the sunrise After years without the sun You knew where I hid pieces Of myself I couldn't use Patient in the silence Waiting to break through --- [Pre-Chorus] And I swear I felt you breathing Through the floorboards in the light Not a voice, not a warning Just another reason to rise --- [Chorus] Gold bloom Corner of the room You know me better than I do Gold bloom Breaking through the wounds Growing where I thought nothing could Bright flowers on the ceiling Roots running through the blue If I learn to love tomorrow Will you bloom? --- [Verse 2] You watched the unanswered messages Find their way back home Watched another winter leave me Less alone than before You drank the morning sunlight From the glass beside my bed Fed on every hopeful thing I was afraid to say instead The clock became a promise The daylight turned to grace Every dream left long enough Began to find its place Still you spread in silence Through every open room A cartographer of wonder Drawing maps in golden blooms --- [Pre-Chorus] And I know your shape by memory Every laugh and every scar Like a friend who stayed beside me Even when I fell apart --- [Chorus] Gold bloom Corner of the room You know me better than I do Gold bloom Breaking through the wounds Growing where I thought nothing could Bright flowers on the ceiling Roots running through the blue If I learn to love tomorrow Will you bloom? --- [Breakdown] [Softly, over organ drone and vinyl crackle] You were there... When the phone rang again You were there... When I opened the blinds You were there... When the days found their names You were there... You were there... You were there... --- [Final Chorus] Gold bloom Kingdom of the room Growing where the light pours through Gold bloom Old familiar truth Wearing all the colors I once lost Bright flowers on the ceiling Watch me coming loose And if I finally leave this place Come with me We'll bloom --- [Outro] In the corner by the window There's a patch where darkness lived I used to think the light was something distant Now I know... It was growing underneath.
