lyrics
Rose gold centrefold
passed through in a teary haze.
Patience paid off, sweet girl,
with time enough to savour the weight,
lifted like soaked clothes
from a shivering frame
and held open for the sun to refresh.
Fragile, finally able to rest-
look at you,
you’re living proof.
Cold years leading up,
clawing at padlocked gates.
No effortless incantation,
every month you dug your nails
deeper and deeper in
until they finally gave way.
Never in your interest
these endurance tests,
instead of guiding through
the doctors second guess
Which path is right for you?
Like you’re nothing less
Than living proof.
Baby they may not stop trying
to beat you blue,
but now you’ve got something
that nobody can ever
Take from you.
You’re living proof.
passed through in a teary haze.
Patience paid off, sweet girl,
with time enough to savour the weight,
lifted like soaked clothes
from a shivering frame
and held open for the sun to refresh.
Fragile, finally able to rest-
look at you,
you’re living proof.
Cold years leading up,
clawing at padlocked gates.
No effortless incantation,
every month you dug your nails
deeper and deeper in
until they finally gave way.
Never in your interest
these endurance tests,
instead of guiding through
the doctors second guess
Which path is right for you?
Like you’re nothing less
Than living proof.
Baby they may not stop trying
to beat you blue,
but now you’ve got something
that nobody can ever
Take from you.
You’re living proof.
