Gold Under the Knife (Version 2)

Verse

Mirror's cracked where my name used to be

Silver scar under the light of me

Scales won't stop, they just keep on calling

Every cut a dollar I'm not selling

Tape won't hold when the muscle's hungry

Mirror's still breaking, still getting hungry

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising beneath my skin

Something's growing where my name used to be in

I don't stop it even though I start to fall for it

This body's a vault and I'm opening up one door after another

Chorus

Gold under the knife, gold under the knife

Every scar is currency, every cut is life

I was broke before but now I shine like lightning

Gold under the knife, gold under the knife

Verse 2

Doctor's voice still ringing in my ear

Told me stop it, told me fear

Said a man this young ain't meant to burn so bright

But I'm already a statue and the sun's not done yet tonight

I don't need permission when the numbers start to climb

Every mirror's a witness, every cut's a sign

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising beneath my skin

Something's growing where my name used to be in

I don't stop it even though I start to fall for it

This body's a vault and I'm opening up one door after another

Chorus

Gold under the knife, gold under the knife

Every scar is currency, every cut is life

I was broke before but now I shine like lightning

Gold under the knife, gold under the knife

Bridge

Maybe he was right about the cost

But what's a man without a second coast?

Fortune built on broken bone

I'd take this hunger over home

Every stitch that won't lie straight

Every weight that keeps me great

Chorus

Gold under the knife, gold under the knife

Every scar is currency, every cut is life

I was broke before but now I shine like lightning

Gold under the knife, gold under the knife
