lyrics

This story belongs to everyone
But it ain’t for Wall Street or Hollywood
The world will spin as it’s always done
But no one will love you more than I ever could

I’m not a currency you can spend
I’m not a road that has no end
I’m not a trinket that you can keep
I want to be the peace in your deepest sleep

You’ve played every note that you can find
Scared of the dark and afraid of the day
In each haunted house lives a carousel mind
But when the trapdoor slams, then you’re here to stay

I’m not a currency...

Making fun of the poetry of life
Slits my soul like a robber’s flick knife
You’re not ready to talk about it today
It’s nothing - forget it - make it go away

Not one of us knows what is to come
And if he tells you he does, then he’s a liar
Don’t sit here alone and wait ‘til you’re numb
I will stay with you and help to rebuild this fire

I’m not a currency...
