Wounds Are Gold

For all the abuses
The hate I swallowed
Brings out the worst in me
Indifferent from the tears I’ve shed
Life’s sheets are here to cover
The way I lead this vessel
Faith is my lover
But I sleep with the devil
I’m not afraid
That’s the way I’m livin'
And i cope with life
I will be there
If you don’t believe me
Now watch my eyes
I am grateful to get up in the morning
Everyday I become a better man
I’m not afraid
That’s the way I’m livin'
And I cope with life
Tomorrow is brighter than today
They didn’t want me to shine
But now they’re all blind
Scars made furrows on my soul
But I picked up the pieces and
I merged ‘em with fucking gold
I’m not afraid
That’s the way I’m livin'
And I cope with life
I will be there
If you don’t believe me
Now watch my eyes
I am grateful to get up in the morning
Everyday I become a better man
I’m not afraid
That’s the way I’m livin'
And I cope with life
I dare you all to believe in what I see
Sometimes it can shine
A filthy bastard like me
I fight my misery until my soul is numb
The universe is talking to me
My wounds are gold!
My wounds are gold!
Tomorrow is brighter than today
They didn’t want me to shine and now they’re all blind
Tired out, tore apart in deep wounds
Dying alone with broken bones
And I merged ‘em with fucking gold
(And I merged ‘em with fucking gold)
I’m not afraid
That’s the way I’m livin'
And I cope with life
I will be there
If you don’t believe me
Now watch my eyes
I am grateful to get up in the morning
Everyday i become a better man
I’m not afraid
That’s the way I’m livin'
And I cope with life
