Safe and Sound Lyrics

New homes are all I know,
new arms to wrap around me
in exchange for letting go
of my surroundings, all common ground,
and the ones that kept me safe and sound
for time well spent and for years on end.
Let me be the prime example
for a golden heart dismantled.
Let my voice sink into your skin.
Can you feel it?
Can you feel me sink like a shipwreck
at your expense?
In a nightmare that never ends is where I am.
I had a heart of solid gold,
but the artificial colors
washed away as I grew old.
I had a heart of solid gold.
