Nothing Gold Can Stay

So tell me a tale of snakes and wolves, And the sun and stars and sea Tell me a tale of the unforgiving earth, And not seeing the forest for the trees The queen's picked up the king's fallen crown, It's finished now Oh mercy me, I'm full of venom But the world's got charm for days, And if there's one thing life is good at It's making my romantic heart ache Prophets all among you, lying in the weeds Heads swimming with visions, still they couldn't see No one knows, It comes and goes Some days are okay, some days I can be brave, Some days I pray the earth will rise and claim me But what I want and what I've got might not be so far apart I'm through learning lessons, but I'm not done being taught Stay safe Stay sane Don't let gods tell you anything Stay safe Stay sane Nothing gold can stay Stay safe Stay sane Don't let gods tell you anything Stay safe Stay sane Nothing gold can stay Stay safe Stay sane When you've got nothing to lose, You've got everything to gain Stay safe Stay sane Nothing gold can stay
