Текст песни
Gold on my hands and gold on my conscience
Hollow inside, man, that's the only constant
Built up a kingdom from ashes and dirt
Now I stare at the walls and they don't give a fuck what I'm worth
High stakes, cool sweat, deals in the dark place
Climbing that ladder 'til I couldn't see your face
Is this the top? Man, it's cold as a stone
All this cash and I'm sittin' here alone, let's go!
I traded hours for power, days for gain
I conquered everything except the pain
The throne is heavy and the crown is rust
'Cause an empire of glass can't hold no trust!
I've got everything I wanted
But I'm nothing that you need
Empire of rust, it's haunted
By the love I didn't feed
Every dollar, every tower
Every second that I stole
It was power over flowers
Now the emptiness is whole!
Check the phone, no calls, just business
Another date, another face, but it's never your kisses
Used to dream 'bout this view from the high-rise
Now I'd burn it to the ground just to see a sunrise
In your eyes, but you're gone with the wind, miss
Now the only thing that listens is the damn abyss
I bought the watch, bought the chain, bought the fake friends
But what's the price of a heart that never mends?
I traded hours for power, days for gain
I conquered everything except the pain
The throne is heavy and the crown is rust
'Cause an empire of glass can't hold no trust!
I've got everything I wanted
But I'm nothing that you need
Empire of rust, it's haunted
By the love I didn't feed
Every dollar, every tower
Every second that I stole
It was power over flowers
Now the emptiness is whole!
Take it all back!
Every contract!
I'd shred the paper for a single whisper back
Feel the floor crack!
Under the attack!
Of a man who built a world and can't find the path back
I've got everything I wanted!
But I'm nothing that you need!
Empire of rust, it's haunted
By the love I didn't feed!
Every dollar! Every tower!
Every second! That I STOLE!
It was power over flowers
And this emptiness is WHOLE!
Everything and nothing
