Greed

Gold and silver stack so high
Lost my soul and can't ask why
Pocket's full but heart is bare
The stench of greed fills the air

Eyes that never look away
From the window shop display
Fingers clutching all they see
Was this all just meant for me?

Greed is crawling through my skin
I feel it spreading deep within
Always seeks but never finds
Wish I saw the warning signs
Greed took over, I'm in chains
I only have myself to blame

Every sale and every deal
Makes me turn a bit less real
Cut me open, then I bleed
But it's not blood, it's just greed

Castles built on shifting sand
Fortunes slip right through my hand
Riches bought but peace is sold
Greed has left me in the cold

Greed is crawling through my skin
I feel it spreading deep within
Always seeks but never finds
Wish I saw the warning signs
Greed took over, I'm in chains
I only have myself to blame

Palace halls from days of old
Filled my vaults with boundless gold
Lonely queen on broken throne
Greed ensures I'm all alone

Greed is crawling through my skin
I feel it spreading deep within
Always seeks but never finds
Wish I saw the warning signs
Greed took over, I'm in chains
I only have myself to blame
