Laid out the cards
Of a coloured deck
To a stubborn future
You couldn't accept
Because everyone's there
With their perfect arms
With their mocking thoughts
That go on and on
And nothing around here
Really makes any sense
Except a sign
Saying watch your step
And black isn't white
I know I won't see you tonight
But I'm moving on
A message to send
That I'll never see your smiling face again
Cut to the quick
For the easy way out
To the de luxe special
They're trying to sell
But I can see through
You like everyone else
So don't tell me
I know too well
It's a cash recall
You get what you give
So I'll just stay at zero
Where I can't begin
The stage fades to black
But your not distracted
Your always right here
A ghost in the shell
Always standing beside yourself
The table's set
For you and him
And I'll slip out quietly
No commotion
Trace the lines once again
Past the point of no return
Never see your smiling face again
The fantastic indie folk songs on the latest from Gold Dust are slathered in gallons of echo, making them feel titanic and 200 feet tall. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 6, 2022
