(Verse 1)
They told me, "Build your castle, stack the gold up high"
But the velvet starts to fray beneath a cold and judging sky
Moths and rust, the silent partners, taking back their due
I see the thieves in the shadows, coming straight for you
Yeah, they'll break in and they'll steal it, every single thread
While the true treasure waits for you, far above your head
(Chorus)
'Cause my eyes are wide open, a lamp in the dark
But the world is a fever, leaving its mark
Two masters screaming, tearing me apart
You can't serve the paper god and find peace in your heart
You can't serve the paper god, so tell me, where is your desire?
Where the fire is set, where the smoke takes you higher
(Verse 2)
The worry is a tether, chaining down my soul
A broken counting of the years, a loss of all control
"Will I eat? Will I drink? Will I find a coat to wear?"
A foolish little mantra, lost in the polluted air
But look out at the field, where the lilies stand so proud
Better dressed than Solomon, shouting to the crowd
If the fragile little wildflowers burn out in a day
Then your Father in the heavens, will surely light your way
(Chorus)
'Cause my eyes are wide open, a lamp in the dark
But the world is a fever, leaving its mark
Two masters screaming, tearing me apart
You can't serve the paper god and find peace in your heart
You can't serve the paper god, so tell me, where is your desire?
Where the fire is set, where the smoke takes you higher
(Bridge)
I'm seeking something brighter, than the darkness in the deep
I'm trading in tomorrow for the promises I keep
Let the new day bring its burdens, I've got enough for now
Gotta live righteously and let the future take a bow
(Guitar Solo - Heavy Distortion/Sustained Feedback)
(Outro)
Two masters... they can't have me.
No more worry... set the spirit free.
(Fade out with repeated, raw vocal)
Moths and rust... all that's left of me...
Moths and rust... not for me...
