"Marigold" lyrics - CALIGULA'S HORSE

Take it all, I never needed any more
Than days on days and gentle nights
When nothing could stop me
Keep it safe, taking secrets to the grave
When I was the king just for that one day
When nothing could stop me

I feed my soul
I force a smile, ignore the hole
Wishing like hell that I was still God
With nothing above me
Read my eyes, weary lines
Taking what's mine
Just soil below and nothing above me

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
Feed my soul (Feed my soul)
Marigold
(I'd rather starve than choke what's wearing me down)

[Chorus:]
Give me heresy, we were never told the truth
The world that spoke
Calm these hands
Before they can reach your throat
Give me eyes to see her never growing old
Good news, they hope you choke
Take heart, it's all fool's gold

Leave me there
Pockets full of empty air
Payin' my penance, curse this prayer
Regret never touched me
She will stay
Dressed in choices that I made
Head like a king, but crown like a gravestone
Don't touch me

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
Feed my soul (Feed my soul)
Marigold
(I'd rather starve than choke what's tearing me down)

[Chorus:]
Give me heresy, we were never told the truth
The world that spoke
Calm these hands
Before they can reach your throat
Give me eyes to see her never growing old
Good news, they hope you choke
Take heart, it's all fool's gold

[Bridge:]
With these hands I could change the world
More than gold, more than I deserve
(With these hands, I could change the world)
I am a wealthy man, I am loved
Tell me hope's not lost
Soon you will see
I can't take it with me
When to nothing I fade
Gone, borne by the choices I made
I am a wealthy man, I am loved
Tell me hope's not lost
Soon you'll see
I can't take it with me
When to nothing I fade
Gone, borne by the choices I made

[Outro:]
Wake up, wake up
And soon you'll see that all hope is not lost
Not gone
