nothing gold by autumn rhythm

'hero worship'

left your stuff here

objects i hold so dear

tells me you’re gone

i’d kill to have you near

survey the scene

the battles that i’ve won

at seventeen,

my teenage dream undone

could’ve had it all, you thought

could’ve had it all, you fuck

could’ve had it all, you thought

could’ve had it all, you fuck

whirled in the mix

debauchery and fun

there’s more of this

i’ll stay forever young

you know i’m off

i’ll blame it on the weather

lay back and scoff

“i’ll feel this way forever”

i’ll break, i’ll bend

i’ll play pretend

if that’s what you want me to do

i’ll go, i’ll stay

i’ll drive away

if that’s what you want me to do

i’ll seek, i’ll find,

leave it behind

if that’s what you want me to do

make me run late

shake me awake

it’s all that i want you to do

could’ve had it all, you thought

could’ve had it all, you fuck

could’ve had it all, you thought

could’ve had it all, you fuck

'novelty'

you want me

come find me

a chapter in your story

you’re dead wrong

i’m wondering

you never stood beside me

it’s such a sorry scene

i can’t believe

i would never stick around, but

all our songs are yours and his now

feel the ground beneath me

feel it drag me upstream

am i a novelty?

feeling washed up lately

happy as i can be

am i a novelty?

you know me

don’t own me

an old lock without a key

i’m wishing

if only

shit didn’t make me lonely

it’s such a sorry scene,

but a relief

i would never stick around, but

all our songs are yours and his now

feel the ground below me

feel it drag me upstream

am i a novelty?

feeling washed up lately

happy as i can be

am i a novelty?

'hang on'

i’ll wait till you believe me

i’ll wait until you see

that everything i live for

you bring it out in me

hang on, i’ll call you

hang on, i’ll call you

i’ll wait till you believe me

i’ll wait until you see

that when i fall, you catch me

and let me down with ease

hang on, i’ll call you

hang on, i’ll call you

'indisposed'

freeze

is there anyone out there?

i’m feeling diseased

i hate being seen

it’s fine

it’s all going quiet

check one more time

an elegant light

the weather always gets you down

getting lost, we curse the clouds

left to dry, i feel left out

unrequited, uninvited

in turn

all the habits i unlearned

overexposed, yeah i know

walk through my mind, i’ll let you go

feel indisposed

try

to change who i am

held at the door

i’m looking for more

i’m weak

stay underground

i’m trying to speak

but nothing comes out

he weather always gets you down

drift away or stick around

left to dry, i feel left out

undecided, so divided

(wait, why am i scared now, what the fuck?

yeah, i’m scared)

in turn

all the habits i unlearned

overexposed, yeah i know

walk through my mind, i’ll let you go

feel indisposed

'lit a candle'

i woke up and made some coffee

chewed the grounds and thought of you

took a walk and lit a candle

just seemed something you’d do

and i think back to last winter

feel the chill inside my bones

only ten miles between us

but i’ll call every one home

so i’ll keep warm in the fabric

of the girl who came before me

she’s your tireless rambling story 

and the walls are the same color

but the furniture’s arranged

in a pattern she’d find strange

if she’s ever back in town one of these days

one of these days

one of these days

one of these days

'even the dogs'

not apart, just around

so disarmed

“you’re so sweet

so small town

always charmed”

shrug off the things you told her

feel subspace growing colder

i’ll stick around awhile

know better when i’m older

give in or give away

in essence

inhibit, exhibit

my question

shrug off the things you told her

feel subspace growing colder

i’ll stick around awhile

know better when i’m older

i sacrifice ambition

no use in recognition

light it up, choke it down

crippling indecision

'forgiver'

smiling, falling, frown

trying, failing, drown

i’ll scream into void

forgive myself

break all my toys

i’m someone else

give in to noise

'catch up'

silver screen shows me your story

stealing summer, skipping town

i get tired of everyone

but i always find me wanting you around

(fuck)

stay up late just to feel tired

heavy heart and aching bones

trace my steps so i can walk with you

every place i hate now feels like home

i wanna know

why you’ve been cold

do what i’m told

so it goes

i’ll catch up with you later

there’s no use to stick around

easier to smile on the inside

but there’s solace in sadness now

i’ll catch up with you later

there’s no use to stick around

easier to smile on the inside

but there’s solace in sadness now

'rest cure'

dorm curse

rest cure

it works, i’m sure

hold fast

to her

fame and allure

define to me

intimacy

you say you’re free

do what you please

find her

tell why

won’t hurt to try

fine-haired

doe-eyed

learning to fly

define to me

intimacy

you say you’re free

do what you please

'campfire'

you’re hard to put on paper

find the right words, spit them out

so easy to lose track of

feeling more lost when i’m found

tell me you’re always tired

tossed match in your campfire

watch it burning out

for every painless shout

fall apart when you unravel

all your colors, red and gold

sewing pieces together

splitting your seams, watch you unfold

i’m strung out

care about

rise and fall

aren’t we all

ripped apart

death of art

lack reward

full of doubt

replay the things they told you

on the nights you got left out

hear your name over and over-

some new pain to think about
