Materialism

(Verse 1) Chrome and glitter, blinding light on a diamond sky City's heartbeat, a million dreams chasing a fleeting high Got the fastest car, the biggest house, a closet full of desires But the emptiness echoes, a hollow fire (Chorus) Is this the kingdom we built on sand? A monument to greed? Chasing phantoms, a plastic land, a never-ending need We built our castles on shaky ground, with diamonds cold and hard Lost in the glitter, no love is found, just a hollow, empty yard (Verse 2) Bought every pleasure, chased every thrill, a never-ending chase But the laughter's hollow, the feeling's nil, a soul out of place Champagne wishes, caviar dreams, a life on display But the emptiness screams, a haunting refrain (Bridge) There's gotta be more than this paper crown, this crown of fleeting worth A treasure that won't rust or drown, a love that has its birth Beyond the trinkets, the fleeting trends, a purpose that's divine A fire that transcends, a love that mends, a heart that's truly thine (Chorus) Is this the kingdom we built on sand? A monument to greed? Chasing phantoms, a plastic land, a never-ending need We tear down the castles on shaky ground, those diamonds cold and hard Leave the glitter, a love is found, a heart that's finally warm (Outro) There's more to this life than the things we see, a love that sets us free Beyond the hollowness, a love will be, the greatest wealth you'll ever see.
