Wounds Are Gold - Elyne

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
