Spare me your sympathies of broken dreams, now, honestly, Im not the man I used to want to be And dont hold your punches I am strong enough to take the words, you dont belong
Because I burnt my eyes to see the sun For what it is, not what the words of everyone have told me I should see So make your conscience clear enough to make your judgements When you look at me
Gold and silver means nothing to the blind So don’t weigh yourself down, before you find your eyes
Why wear a mask to hide from all the things you’ve said Would you cut off your toes to spite the chosen path you’ve led? Just be the one you choose to be and let your words walk with you now instead
And don’t drag me down into the waters That you drown your sons and daughters in hoping to wash away the fear, To accept your failures less than your success is such a wayward path to steer
Gold and silver means nothing to the blind So don’t weigh yourself down, before you find your eyes
You best believe that theres a darkness in your heart to overcome It looks the same and takes the shape of all those shadows from which you run And all your friends and all your enemies well, they’ll live and die and one, Because theres nowhere to run, no theres nowhere to run
Gold and silver means nothing to the blind So don’t weigh yourself down, before you find your eyes
