Alchemy

Bittersweet buccaneers
Sailing through a sea of tears
Think if we have one more fight
Maybe we'll win this time?

Hanging on by a thread
To something that is clearly dead
Think if we let this go
We'll find solace for our souls?

I knocked
You didn't answer
Your body already cold
I took your heart
Your lifeless hands
Transformed them into gold

A treasure map on your palms
Lips muttering a broken psalm
Think if we go together
The styx will let us pass?

Vials of poison, pieces of eight
I swallowed it all in one mistake
Think if I hold you closer
It'll cancel the shards of glass?

You called
I didn't answer
My body already cold
You took my heart
My lifeless hands
Transformed them into gold
