Paper and Ink |
Touched the mirror |
Broke the surface of the water |
Saw my true self |
All illusions shattered |
Money’s only paper only ink |
We’ll destroy ourselves if we can’t agree |
How the world turns |
Who made the sun |
Who owns the sea |
The world we know will fall piece by piece |
Sat down up close to the colored black hole |
Like they’d always told me not to |
Saw the one dimension polka dot pacifier |
And all illusions shattered |
Money’s only paper only ink |
We’ll destroy ourselves if we can’t agree |
How the world turns |
Who made the sun |
Who owns the sea |
The world we know will fall piece by piece |
Bared myself wholly heart and body unadorned |
Stripped down solely |
To the evil and the good |
Felt no shame |
Naked to the world |
And all illusions shattered |
Money’s only paper only ink |
We’ll destroy ourselves if we can’t agree |
How the world turns |
Who made the sun |
Who owns the sea |
The world we know will fall piece by piece |
Faced towards the sea |
Looked to heaven up above |
Felt the world revolve around me |
No one could tell me otherwise |
But the turbulent waters won’t reflect this life |
Only the sun the moon and sky |
And all illusions shattered |
Money’s only paper only ink |
We’ll destroy ourselves if we can’t agree |
How the world turns |
Who made the sun |
Who owns the sea |
The world we know will fall piece by piece |
Money’s only paper only ink |
