The humble and righteous and meek   Are teaching me who's will to seek   But who really knows how to speak   About these things      Questions of where can he go   When he is feeling so low   And kicking himself just to show   How he still bleeds      And I want to know the difference between   What sparkles and what is gold      I wonder how many eyes   Are fixed like a vulture's on me   Now I wonder if I can even move or breathe   Without disappointing someone      And I know what they call themselves   But I don't remember inviting them   To put me on this pedastal   And make me feel so naked      Afraid to look down   Afraid to turn around      I bring it on myself   I know I bring it on myself      And I want to know the difference between   What sparkles and what is gold      I walked along beside the purple mountains beneath the orange sky   Imagined what it all might look like with these planks out of my eyes   I wondered if the big white horse was coming down tonight   I wanted to taste that victory but my mouth was dry      There is only tonight and the light that bleeds from your heart   Makes me want to try and start again
