Silver stars i believe i have earned I like to wear them in my hair I was shy to show off these medals I thought they were dull and useless Now I understand They shine in the light of a new day They shine so bright even if I hide them under false pretenses How hard do we try to cover up the lines, the scars of our battles Our flesh as it wanes If we only knew them as strengths As shields, as magic We're not any wiser I guess More patient? Not sure... But we do have more keys to unlock certain mysteries If we care to look As an act of bravoury I let myself grow old I grow... Gold How do you feel today? I knew it right away I know it's coming down I just want you around I don't want to be more We could be so much more Just make me feel Just make me feel Like i'm a part of you life Like i'm a part of you life
