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 dont weigh yourself down, before you find your eyes
SAME THROUGH OUT
Why wear a mask to hide from all the things youve said
Would you cut off your toes to spite the chosen path youve led?
Just be the one you choose to be
and let your words walk with you now instead
And dont 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 dont 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, theyll live and die and one,
Because theres nowhere to run, no theres nowhere to run
Gold and silver means nothing to the blind
So dont weigh yourself down, before you find your eyes
