Lyrics

I’m on my toes when you walk in the room
The air fills with your stifling perfume
Plagued with your bitter and woeful gloom
Can’t count the tears you cry

Behind dark glasses, your eyes dance
No sights for you to find romance
Mankind put you in a cynical trance
You feast on me like a black fly

You hurt me once, now guilt’s on you
I’m beating back, you can’t get through
You ain’t threatened by the things I do
Moving mountains seems too high

When there’s a silver lining
You’ll only mine for gold
You can’t accept the changes
Those little things are sold
Your heart is breaking faster
Glass shivers when it’s cold
When there’s a silver lining
You’ll only mine for gold

You make quick jabs with your plastic knife
Your hands are bruised, too frail to take lives
Take no time to deal with your strife
Y’rather complain that I won’t die

You cut me out, the blade gets thick
Quick wit, sharp, that’s the kick
Should’ve stuck to your guns quick
You’re just too jaded to try

When there’s a silver lining
You’ll only mine for gold
You can’t accept the changes
Those little things are sold
Your heart is breaking faster
Glass shivers when it’s cold
When there’s a silver lining
You’ll only mine for gold

I wish you could see the light
That silver brings to the eyes
Always wanting something more
You don’t think it qualifies
But when you want some of mine
You can’t loot my supplies
Stubbornness can kill you
you can’t deny

When there’s a silver lining
You’ll only mine for gold
You can’t accept the changes
Those little things are sold
Your heart is breaking faster
Glass shivers when it’s cold
When there’s a silver lining
You’ll only mine for gold
