Money Speaks in Gold (версия 2)

Verse 1

Money speaks in gold, a language I don't know

Every room is rented out, the view's the same but it costs too much to see the wall

Suits in every corner counting what the mirror has sworn

The city breathes like fire under steel and glass

I built this tower high so the whole town can stare at me

But now I just feel hollow from all that they've taken

Every step up made the ground farther away

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why the rich man's castle never feels like home

Why every dollar's weight still pulls me down alone

Maybe it's the numbers talking louder than my name

I'm learning now to count what money can't erase

Chorus

Money speaks in gold, but I hear a different voice

A heartbeat that says there's more than what the coin rejoices

Every gold-tinged window still remembers cold

This is mine so long as nothing's bought and sold

Verse 2

The skyline burns like silver across a midnight sea

A stranger hands me keys to something they don't own

I built it all for proof that I could build the whole town high

Now the whole floor shakes every time they turn up the sound

But behind each face, there's someone holding on

To an apartment that feels like freedom but still owes a debt in gold

The money laughed at me when I said I'd never sell the view

But now it's theirs and I'm just standing here watching them lose it too

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why the rich man's castle never feels like home

Why every dollar's weight still pulls me down alone

Maybe it's the numbers talking louder than my name

I'm learning now to count what money can't erase

Chorus

Money speaks in gold, but I hear a different voice

A heartbeat that says there's more than what the coin rejoices

Every gold-tinged window still remembers cold

This is mine so long as nothing's bought and sold

Bridge

I built this tower high to see it burn for good

Not so they'd worship me but so they could stand instead of kneeling in the mud

A house of glass still lets the wind get through

And every view that's paid for costs more than you could ever give

So watch the gold dissolve and let the silence rise

Chorus

Money speaks in gold, but I hear a different voice

A heartbeat that says there's more than what the coin rejoices

Every gold-tinged window still remembers cold

This is mine so long as nothing's bought and sold
