Rust or Gold

The moon's lit by the sun

The same as everyone

Same as everyone who shines, dear

Home inside your head

You fill it with regret

You fill it with regret

Decorate with fear

Hand to heart

Heart to hand

My hand to you

Rust or gold

You decide what you see, what you hold

Let it burn there in your hand

Or watch it grow, watch it grow

Breath of life come and fill your lungs

And give it away until it's gone

Or hold it in and let it die

Let it die, let it die

Turn away your eyes

From the other side

From the other side of your wishing star

And roots will twist and wind

A garden in your mind

A garden in your mind

Stay right where you are

Hand to heart

Heart to hand

My hand to you

Rust or gold

You decide what you see, what you hold

Let it burn there in your hands

Or watch it grow, watch it grow

Breath of life come and fill your lungs

And give it away until it's gone

Or hold it in and let it die

Let it die, let it die

Rust or gold

You decide what you see, what you hold

Let it burn there in your hand

Or watch it grow, watch it grow

Breath of life come and fill your lungs

And give it away until it's gone

Or hold it in and let it die

Let it die, let it die

Hold it in and let it die

Let it die, let it die
