Zachery Kane O'Quinn - Midas Curse

Long time coming
Came along and went
Castles made of memories
On the shores of my regret
Said goodbye forever
More than I can stand
But forever is a moment
When the ocean steals the sand

All I'd ever wanted
Was right within my grip
But I cling too tight when the feelings right
And I squeeze the life from it

I'd rather die tomorrow
With me as your man
Than have to face a life of sorrow
Without your tender loving hands a
And I'd build you a mountain
With the hearts I've turned to stone
Until you looked and froze in time
I'd never been afraid to die alone

Wrong time's coming
I can feel it in my bones
Every step is another mile
To a place that's dark and cold
I said goodbye forever
More than I can stand
But forever is a moment
When the ocean steals the sand

If I can just get high enough
To carry all my pain
I'd drop it down from the tallest cloud and drown you with the rain

And I'd give my life tomorrow
If you give me the chance you'd never have to face the sorrow
I feel without your healing hands and I'd carve you a valley
With my hands into the stone
But I'd still be sad and fighting mad as to why the hell I'm dying all alone

I was raised an honest man
Treat your love like a poker hand
Wear your heart like a tattoo sleeve
Forever stains from forever deeds

What I touch it turns to gold but gold ain't worth the weight it holds
And there ain't a place for me on earth
If I can't shake this Midas Curse

I'd rather die in the morning
Like my grandfather died
With the love of a woman
And his eyes filled with pride
Than to live like my mother did
Regret and shame inside
But I can feel her love forever
All around me in the sky and I'd
Give her an ocean and fill it up with joy
Because I never had to wonder
If she'd do the same for her baby boy
