Colder Than Gold (Version 2)

Verse

Frost on the mirror, breath like smoke in the dark

Steel door rattling with a heartbeat that's hard

Cold water dripping down off your jawline

This is the only place I feel alive

I keep my fists clenched till they burn and turn white

Every shadow moves slow then it turns to light

Rust on the lock, salt on the beam

This is the ritual, this is the scream

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the walls start to shake?

Something inside me starts to break

Chorus

I'm colder than gold in my chest tonight

Colder than gold and burning white

Every mirror cracks when I speak your name

Frozen on fire, I'm running the same

Verse

Wires hanging loose from a fuse that won't blow

Your voice cuts through like a knife through snow

Concrete floor shaking under the weight of you

Two shadows moving on borrowed time, too

Hands up against the freezing glass

Every word is an avalanche at last

I feel the ground start to crack and slide

This is the edge where I learned how to fly

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the walls start to shake?

Something inside me starts to break

Chorus

I'm colder than gold in my chest tonight

Colder than gold and burning white

Every mirror cracks when I speak your name

Frozen on fire, I'm running the same

Bridge

Maybe this was just a door I couldn't open

Maybe this is what it means to be gone

But something's moving under my skin now

Something's thawing out from where you're standing

Outro

Frost still breathing in the glass tonight

I'm colder than gold, but I feel alive
