lyrics

I drew a circle
Around the passage
I want an honest look

They grow in patterns
Forming a sequence
Far from the other books

But when I close my eyes
And take breath to settle down
I see it come to life
I see it all around me

Oh but it won't be long
Until it fades a little more
It'll be lost again

Cause that's my Midas Touch
Everything turns to gold
Then everything turns to rust

But that's my Midas Touch
Even if it turns to gold
Still everything returns to dust
And that's why I don't trust it

I spend my seasons
Fighting the sadness
I love an abstract
I love a piece of dust

I didn't think that
It would be so hard
Mining the truth from all this convolution

Close to the surface
There is a secret
You wouldn't listen
But I wanna find it

Still holding out for
Some kind of permanence
Left in static

But that's my Midas Touch
Everything turns to gold
Then everything turns to rust

But that's my Midas Touch
Even if it turns to gold
Still everything returns to dust
And that's why I don't trust it

Cause that my Midas Touch
Everything turns to gold
Then everything turns to dust
And thats why I don't trust it
