[Verse 1]

Stare into a gleaming stone

Trying to seek new light

It glistened once, now its unrefined and cold

Try to live a perfect life

Paint our world in gold

Before we realized we were owned and sold

[Chorus]

Reflections hurt my eyes

Rays cut me to size

Glimmer in the sun

The brilliance comes undone

[Verse 2]

We worked these mines for far too long

Set our lives in stone

The tracks that lead us down are overgrown

Climb out to a past we'd lost

Now the future's old

The embers burned too bright for us to hold

[Chorus]

Reflections hurt my eyes

Rays cut me to size

Glimmer in the sun

The brilliance comes undone

Reflections hurt my eyes

Rays cut me to size

Glimmer in the sun

The brilliance comes undone
