Gold And Silver Lyrics - Singles - Brother And Bones

Spare me your sympathies of broken dreams 

now honestly, 

I'm not the man I used to want to be 

And don't hold your punches I am strong enough to take the words, "you don't belong" 

Cause I burnt my eyes to see the sun, 

for what it is, not what the words of everyone has told me I should see 

So make your conscience clear enough, 

to make your judgements, when you look at me, 

Cause gold and silver, 

means nothing to the blind 

So don't wear yourself down 

before you find your eyes 

And I'll wear a mask to hide from all the things you say, 

would you cut off your toes to spite the chosen path you've led? 

Just be the one you chose to be, 

and let your words walk with you now instead 

And don't drag me down into the waters that you drowned 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 

Cause gold and silver, 

means nothing to the blind 

So don't wear yourself down 

before you find your eyes 

You best believe there's a darkness in your heart to overcome, 

Looks the same and takes the shape, 

follow shadows from which you run 

And all your friends and all your enemies, well they'll live and die as one 

Cause there's nowhere to run 

no there's no where, there's no where to run 

Cause gold and silver, 

means nothing to the blind 

So don't wear yourself down 

before you find your eyes 

Before you find your eyes, 

before you find your eyes
