The moon's lit by the sun
The same as everyone, same as everyone who shines, dear
Home inside your head, you fill it with regret
Fill it with regret, decorate with fear
Hand to heart, and heart to hand, my hand to you

Chorus:

Rust or gold, you decide what you see, what you hold
Let it burn there in your hand, watch it grow, watch it grow
Breath of life, come and fill your lungs
And give it away until it's gone
Hold it in and let it die, let it die, let it die

Turn away your eyes, from the other side
From the other side of your wishing star
In a route or twist and wind, a garden in your mind
A garden in your mind, stay right where you are
Hand to heart, and heart to hand, my hand to you

Chorus:

Rust or gold, you decide what you see, what you hold
Let it burn there in your hand, watch it grow, watch it grow
Breath of life, come and fill your lungs
And give it away until it's gone
Hold it in and let it die, let it die, let it die

Chorus:

Rust or gold, you decide what you see, what you hold
Let it burn there in your hand, watch it grow, watch it grow
Breath of life, come and fill your lungs
And give it away until it's gone
Hold it in and let it die, let it die, let it die
