The leather's cold against the skin
A cage for everything within
Wrapped in shadow, shielded eyes
Measuring the worth in hollow lies, ah
Collecting ghost notes in the dark
A heavy stone without a spark
But the heart beats faster than the gold can flow
We're only passing shadows on the road
Let the empathy anchor where the iron rusted
Build a temple out of hearts we trusted
Build a temple out of hearts we trusted
White cotton moves like breaking dawn
A silent prayer before the light is gone
No walls required for the spirit's flight
Just the resonant echo of the night
Give the breath away to find the soul
Making something broken whole
But the heart beats faster than the gold can flow
We're only passing shadows on the road
Let the empathy anchor where the iron rusted
Build a temple out of hearts we trusted
Build a temple out of hearts we trusted
The void is wide, the glass is thin
The glass is thin, what's left of us?
When the dust gets in, we are the things we hold
We are the things we hold, we're the story told
But the heart beats faster than the gold can flow
We're only passing shadows on the road
Let the empathy anchor where the iron rusted
Build a temple out of hearts we trusted
Build a temple out of hearts we trusted
Dust to dust, just dust
