Rising Like Gold

Verse

Neon bleeding into gold on the floor

Hands up catching every spark that falls

Bass line calling us from far and small

Sky turning silver at the edge of town

Feet keep moving though my legs give out

Sunrise breaking through the blind behind you

Every breath pulls light across the room

Nothing left but glow and open sky

Chorus

Rising like gold, rising like gold

Losing the night in a shape we control

Hands up catching every spark that falls

Moving till the morning calls us home

Rising like gold, rising like gold

Higher than yesterday, lighter than I know

Breathe it in and never let go

Verse

Sirens fade into birdsong outside my door

Someone's laughing on the fire escape above the street

Every heartbeat keeps the same four count as the song

Strangers turn to family underneath this light

Windows shatter, but we don't run from the sound

This is all there ever was – just us and gold in the room

Chorus

Rising like gold, rising like gold

Losing the night in a shape we control

Hands up catching every spark that falls

Moving till the morning calls us home

Rising like gold, rising like gold

Higher than yesterday, lighter than I know

Breathe it in and never let go

Bridge

Let it lift past the noise and the name of what's real

Let every shadow turn to silver, let it heal

I was broken at midnight, you were holding on

This is how we rise when everything is gone

Chorus

Rising like gold, rising like gold

Losing the night in a shape we control

Hands up catching every spark that falls

Moving till the morning calls us home

Rising like gold, rising like gold

Higher than yesterday, lighter than I know

Breathe it in and never let go
