Standard (EADGBE)

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

SAME THROUGH OUT

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
