Bruised Gold

[Intro]
[Verse]
Nine PM on Tuesday
Rain tapping on the glass
Fluorescents humming low
Watching the people pass
Three years of heavy stone
Carried in my chest alone
Cold as a winter bone
Waiting for a sign unknown
[Verse]
Reaching for the peaches
Soft skin and purple spots
Bruised gold in my hand
Untying all the knots
Why did I hold the line?
Wasting all that precious time
Feeling like a petty crime
Steeper than the hills I climb
[Bridge]
Dialing through the static
Feeling so dramatic
I hear your voice so sweet
Better than a golden beam
I’m sorry for the pride
There’s nowhere left to hide
Let the river turn the tide
Finally feeling light inside
[Verse]
Canvas bag is leaking
Fruit rolling on the floor
Wet pavement starts to shine
By the sliding grocery door
A stranger gives a smile
Walking for a little while
Changing up my heavy style
Crossing over one last mile
[Hook]
Let it all fall down
Lost and finally found
Bruised gold in the rain
Healing up the pain
Wash the pride away
It’s a brand new day
Soft relief is here
Nothing left to fear
[Post-Chorus]
(Choir singing high)
Ooh, let it go
(Horns crying out)
Yeah, let it show
(Piano chords ringing)
Flowing like a stream
(Bass walking slow)
Waking from a dream
Just a little grace
In this rainy place
Finding my own way
At the end of day
[Outro]
