Gold
by Earth Groans

Album: Prettiest of Things

Contentment, oh so rare
A fine jewel obscure to man
A treasure buried underneath our many possessions

Its quite tiresome you know
To find the key
To find the fix
I traveled to, I traveled through
To find the key
To find the fix

I did what every one else did
Set my mind on vanity
Spent my pay on luxury
But "luxury is artificial poverty"

We sit at the banquet table
Meals served like we're kings and queens
Yet all we ingest is a plate of envy
We sit at the banquet table
Meals served like we're kings and queens
Starving for a taste of whats across from me

Is it ever enough?
Is it in my head? is it in my blood?

I ran out of room,
I couldn't find the space for ease
I bought what they sold
Consume consume, I'm consumed

Exhausting myself, I spin on an endless loop
"When I have this then ill be happy
When I have that then ill be savvy"

We sit at the banquet table
Meals served like we're kings and queens
Yet all we ingest is a plate of envy
We sit at the banquet table
Meals served like we're kings and queens
Starving for a taste of whats across from me

An accumulation of assets
But still a groaning in our stomaches
Who knew vacuity inside would be so heavy

But may we strive for a greater gain
Free from the burden of silver
A perspective that is rich and worth the weight of gold

I will be wealthy not in what i own
But in what i can do with out

Contentment, oh so rare
A fine jewel obscure to man
A treasure buried underneath possessions
