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
