Emeralds

Sat alone

Nobody's home

Mould on the ceiling creeps closer it's overgrown

I catch my breath

White like frozen death

As it looms in the rooms of this home

I'm sat alone

Metal scrapes ring through

It's the front door

A sound I've heard before and adore

Key turns like a clock

Twist, turn in the lock

I'm in shock

You enter from the storm

We embrace, now I'm warm

I could be jealous of the other side

It's hard to see with the gap so wide

Relieve your vision, is your conscience clean?

Imperfect garden where the grass is green

I'm green with envy

I wanna be the emeralds around your neck

If you'd just let me

I want to be as close as we can get

I listen to your pleas and your whys

They're only broken by your sighs

I try to dry your eyes on my shirt

It doesn't work

I hate to say it but there's times when

Life is pain

And it's always gonna hurt

You should never be the one to back down

You should never be the one to hide away

You should never be the one to live in fear

You should always stand your ground

When the bastards are at play

I could be jealous of the other side

It's hard to see with the gap so wide

Relieve your vision, is your conscience clean?

Imperfect garden where the grass is green

I'm green with envy

I wanna be the emeralds around your neck

If you'd just let me

I want to be as close as we can get

Can you see what lies ahead?

Greener grass or ruby red?

Poison lips on the rainy days

The crow flies where the body lays

Your tears pool, there's no drought

We talk it out

All about

How we wanna live

I forgive all your rage

'Cause we're on the same page

Put those people in their prisons

Animals inside their cage

I think it's true

There's nothing that I wouldn't do

I look upon the emeralds that I bought for you

Will the necklace on your chest hang loose

Or will you wear it up high like a noose

I'm green with envy

I wanna be the emeralds around your neck

If you'd just let me

I want to be as close as we can get

I'm green with envy

I wanna be the emeralds around your neck

If you'd just let me

I want to be as close as we can get
