The Cost of Everything, the Worth of Nothing...

We chase the shine but we miss the light, we could fill their homes with silver trays and chandeliers that gleam so bright
We chase the shine but we miss the light, they drape themselves in woven silk and diamonds to catch some kind of light
We chase the shine but we miss the light, each corner are lined with polished gold with each adorned with a precious art
We chase the shine but we miss the light, nothing in their empty halls could heal this hollow heart, counting their coins not their time…

We build our walls but feel alone and even fill our hands not our hearts, we tell ourselves that this is success and even tell ourselves that we have won
We build our walls but feel alone and even fill our hands not our hearts, yet we sit alone at night as we wish for days long gone as the doubts whisper in the dark
We build our walls but feel alone and even fill our hands not our hearts, believing that the emptiness will fade with one more spark
We build our walls but feel alone and even fill our hands not our hearts, but things are things and will always will be no matter what we pay…

We trade our now for what won’t last and even buy the dust but not the sky, we measure worth in what we see and in what can rot and rust
We trade our now for what won’t last and even buy the dust but not the sky, we worship the things that time will break and wealth will turn to dust
We trade our now for what won’t last and even buy the dust but not the sky, like a house will crumble, gold will fade, no crown will stope the years
We trade out now for what won’t last and even buy the dust but not the sky, no kind of silk-lined room, no marble floor can hold fate or tears away…

We seek what shines but miss the glow as we thought we own so much yet have so little, it’s easy to forget yourself when all of the world shouts loud
We seek what shines but miss the glow as we thought we own so much yet have so little, that worth is tied to what we own, to standing with the crowd
We seek what shines but miss the glow as we thought we own so much yet have so little, so guard our time, protect our soul and know what holds the weight
We seek what shines but miss the glow as we thought we own so much yet have so little, for when the final breath is drawn and gold is left behind, the only thing that follows you is what you leave inside…

Watchwords:
No kind of glittering stone, no shinning thread so high and grand
A simple laugh is a whispered word, a love that never fades
Is worth far more than diamond tings, or where the heart beats with love so true
The good things in this fleeting world are never bought with gold
