Concrete and Gold

You lost your mind
I could not go
What little time we spent
A penny on the floor

My desperation
A spinning top
Revolving on and on
A world that never stops

Is it all mine?
How could I know
We threw the rind away
Swallowed all the core

Tried levitation
You’re not alone
The stars are holding open
A door we’ll never close

I have an engine made of gold
Something so beautiful
The world will never know
The roots are stronger than you know
Up through the concrete they will grow

Is it all mine
I can’t let go
What little time we spent
A penny on the floor
My desperation
Is this a curse
Till death do us part
For better or for worse

I have an engine made of gold
Something so beautiful
The world will never know
The roots are stronger than you know
Up through the concrete they will grow
Our roots are stronger than we know
Up through the concrete they will grow
