Missing, The - Lead Into Gold Song Lyrics

"alchemists, poets, scientists
have learned what i don't know
love is blind (and deaf and dumb)
a dead weed cannot grow
just let it go

you think you see the light inside
but he is still the same
the thug he was is the thug he is
some things never change
they never change

i tried
to find a diamond in the rough
i lied
to myself but it wasn't enough

he was so uncouth, unkind
i know i had been told
now my eyes are open wide
it's true
you can't turn lead into gold

can't turn lead into gold
no blood from a stone
just leave it alone
and watch your own

i tried
to find a diamond in a pile of shit
i lied
to myself and i'm sick of it

a stitch in time could save my mind
to learn before i'm old
no matter how fucking hard you try
you
you can't turn lead into gold

you can't turn lead into gold "
