Golden Reverie

Verse

Concrete steps still burning at midnight

Chlorine skin under the floodlight

Sixteen hearts on a borrowed roof

Nothing left for us to prove

Empty cans in a pyramid stack

Thunder rolling like it's calling us back

We carved our names in the water tank

Every summer we never thanked

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising through the floor

Something ancient knocking at the door

We were built for this, we were built to burn

Chorus

This is the golden reverie

Fists up high, we run free

Every heartbeat hits the drum

Gods of nothing, kingdom come

Skin like fire, eyes like gold

This is the story we were told

This is the golden reverie

Young and holy, running free

Verse

Rooftop speakers cracked and screaming

Chain-link fence with the moonlight gleaming

Barefoot sprint through the parking lot

Every second burning hot

Sirens far off, we don't care

Smoke and static in the air

We're the flame that the dark can't kill

Standing tall on a broken hill

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising through the floor

Something ancient knocking at the door

We were built for this, we were built to burn

Chorus

This is the golden reverie

Fists up high, we run free

Every heartbeat hits the drum

Gods of nothing, kingdom come

Skin like fire, eyes like gold

This is the story we were told

This is the golden reverie

Young and holy, running free

Bridge

Someday we'll be quiet, someday we'll be old

Someday this whole city won't remember what we told

But tonight the sky is ours, tonight the streets are true

Tonight we are the fire and the fire is coming through

Chorus

This is the golden reverie

Fists up high, we run free

Every heartbeat hits the drum

Gods of nothing, kingdom come

Skin like fire, eyes like gold

This is the story we were told

This is the golden reverie

Young and holy, running free
