[Verse]
I wake with the sun
Dust in my eyes
Chasing this grind 'til the day says goodbye
My hands are calloused; these walls
They confide
But this world
She won't let me stay inside
[Chorus]
What more can I give
What more can I own
When all that I'm craving is time alone?
The streets whisper anger
The sky holds its grudge
And no matter my striving
It never budges
[Verse 2]
Neighbors with faces like shadows in grey
Quiet resentment
But none lead the way
The headlines are fire
The nights heavy-breathed—
Where's the peace for a man who's worked to the death?
[Bridge]
A rustle of secrets that haunt every door
Shades drawn tighter than ever before
I cut through the madness with a list in my hand
But the world keeps its secrets like grains in the sand
[Chorus]
What more can I give
What more can I own
When all that I'm craving is time alone?
The streets whisper anger
The sky holds its grudge
And no matter my striving
It never budges
[Verse 3]
I carve out my minutes
I save up my hours
But the weight of the world crushes my flowers
Inside these four walls
My heart skips a beat
But out there it's a storm I can't seem to defeat
