IIOI/SG Split Lyrics

Such Gold — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 04:22:30 +0000

Trying to tie up some loose ends on the site, adding the IIOI/SG split lyrics for reference.

Minstrels
Did you know the half listening world is sitting on its throne?
Kings and queens judging you from home.
And you’re the minstrel in their court,
With looks like that who needs any support?
Those lights that shined on you just masked the fucking truth.

So play what they want to hear success is based upon your fear
Of consequences if the king does not approve.
Then it’s back to the cell for you,
And you’ll never make the music that you want to.

I was told that music was the expression of one’s soul,
I guess that means that yours was sold.
The next ten years of songs have been written and if you get
A fat enough check you can buy yourself the next big fucking hit.

I’ll play what I want to hear my passion lies in my own ears.
In another year the king may draw his gun,
Then it’s back to square one.
And I could care less ’cause I’ve already won.

I thought that music was an expression of one’s soul,
I guess that means that yours was sold.
And when you stand to think, it doesn’t mean a thing.

The World That You Live In
Well hey, how’ve you been?
It’s been so long since you were a friend.

All of these people inside a room,
pretend to care less about themselves than they do you.
When nothing else could be farther from the truth.
This is the world that you live in.

Well hey, when you said that the world was going to end,
I don’t think that’s what you really meant.

All of these people inside a tomb,
And they won’t be coming back any time soon.
Centuries of crawling backwards towards the womb.

I won’t go, will you please. so please just leave me.
Eaten, drowned, or diseased. Eternally.
So the next time that you see evidence of me,
I’ll be out on the sea with strength to be
the man that I want to be.
And nothing that you think will make a difference in me.

Nothing that you say will make a difference in me anyway.
And besides I know that you don’t have to be
Part of the world that I live in.
Fuck the world that you live in.

SG Recommends: Glamour Kills Clothing

Such Gold — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 20:55:31 +0000

Earlier this year we sat down with the guys over at Glamour Kills Clothing while in NYC, had a nice lunch, some friendly conversation, and discovered a company with a great philosophy, and an amazing staff of music conscious people that were eager to work with us. Then they showered us with free clothes, and gave the promise of more!

We really dig a lot of their clothes, especially their denim, which is extremely comfortable. They even gave us sick skateboards! We can’t wait to shred up LA next month during our recording time on our new GK Cruisers! Here’s a sample of some of the clothes and boards we picked up, and recommend you pick up as well! Ignore the haircuts.

SG/AL4W Split Lyrics

Such Gold — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 18:52:04 +0000

As requested, here are the lyrics to our songs off the AL4W split, “Scoreboard” and “Backyard”.

Scoreboard:
You’re up on the scoreboard but the audience is sick of this collateral damage.
And this game has been going on for far too long
And the audience is sick of the same old song.

We don’t need a coach to recognize what matters most.
We don’t need a book of plays to construct security.

And everyone is a thief these days, just trying to find the next move that pays.

But not you and me, we refuse to play.
We both have beating hearts underneath our skin.
So let the games begin and hopefully we can build shelter from the storm before they go for the win.

We don’t need a coach to recognize what matters most to us.
We don’t need a book of plays to construct security.

We’ve got a voice and a brain and we’ve got two feet planted firm inside of this city.
And everyone is a thief these days, just trying to find the next move that pays.

But not you and me, we refuse to play.
We both have beating hearts underneath our skin.
So let the games begin
And hopefully we can build shelter from the storm before they go for the win.

We don’t need a coach to recognize what matters most to us.
We don’t need a book of plays to construct security.

Backyard:
Oh what a sight to be seen, I left my wits back up in a tree,
Where I used to climb before I was a teen.
Next to an old woman’s cat and a young man’s dreams
And we’re all waiting for them to fall into our hands.
Will we learn to climb or keep standing at the base, shouting our demands?

And no one is listening yet we scream, “let us have our own lives back.”
There’s something I’ve been missing and I would love to ask:

Do you ever feel ashamed enough to say,
That this life we live is flying us first class to an early grave?
And do you ever find your own reality above your head swaying in the breeze?

Our voices shake the trunk we stand in front of but it never breaks.
Gravity is holding us down and it’s raising the stakes for me.
And we’re all waiting for our lives to fall back into our hands.
Will we learn to climb or keep standing at the base, singing?

Do you ever feel ashamed enough to say,
That this life we life live is flying us first class to an early grave?
And will I find my own reality right where I want it to be?

We climbed so far,
We got what we came for.
And in the end,
This backyard isn’t mine anymore.
