about
Anxiety disorders can be like eternal companions that have a firm grip on you and can dictate both thoughts and actions. "Black Gold" describes a certain familiarity with one's anxiety disorder, as if it were merely a companion keeping one company.
lyrics
Verse 1
I've grown roots in your heart
Not gonna part with you
I've gone back to the start
Creepingly breaking through
Everything is as it seems
I am by all means your light
I am in all of your dreams
Removing your daily blight
Patiently waiting to ignite
Chorus 1
Black gold coursing through your veins
Taking you into custody
Paranoia sending shivers down your spine
Anxiety keeps you company
Verse 2
You've found rest in my soul
I am in control of rage
You place hope in my role
To take over center stage
I'm all you need, I'm all you need
I'm all you need and you want me so bad
I'm all you need, I'm all you need
I'm hormones flowing through your blood
Chorus 2
Black gold coursing through your veins
Taking you into custody
Paranoia sending shivers down your spine
Anxiety keeps you company
Bridge
I am stuck in your mind
Like hitting rewind forever
We're like two hearts aligned
Never apart, always together
Pushing you relentlessly to wonder
Questioning reality more and more
Chorus 3
Black gold coursing through your veins
Taking you into custody
Paranoia sending shivers down your spine
Anxiety keeps you company
Anxiety keeps you company
Anxiety keeps you company
