Verse 1:
Touched the mirror
Broke the surface of the water
Saw my true self
All illusions shattered
Chorus:
Money's only paper only ink
We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree
How the world turns
Who made the sun
Who owns the sea
The world we know will fall piece by piece
: :
Verse 2:
Sat down up close to the colored black hole
Like they'd always told me not to
Saw the one dimension polka dot pacifier
And all illusions shattered
Chorus:
Money's only paper only ink
We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree
How the world turns
Who made the sun
Who owns the sea
The world we know will fall piece by piece
: :
Verse 3:
Bared myself wholly heart and body unadorned
Stripped down solely
To the evil and the good
Felt no shame naked to the world
And all illusions shattered
Chorus:
Money's only paper only ink
We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree
How the world turns
Who made the sun
Who owns the sea
The world we know will fall piece by piece
: :
Verse 4:
Faced towards the sea
Looked to heaven up above
Felt the world revolve around me
No one could tell me otherwise
But the turbulent waters won't reflect this life
(stop playing)
Only the sun the moon and sky
(no Chords)
And all illusions shattered
And all illusions shattered
Chorus:
Money's only paper only ink
We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree
How the world turns
Who made the sun
Who owns the sea
The world we know will fall piece by piece
