0:13Touched the mirror
0:16Broke the surface of the water
0:19Saw my true self
0:22All illusions shattered
0:32Money's only paper only ink
0:38We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree
0:44How the world turns
0:46Who made the sun
0:48Who owns the sea
0:51The world we know will fall piece by piece
1:09Sat down up close to the colored black hole
1:12Like they'd always told me not to
1:15Saw the one dimension polka dot pacifier
1:19And all illusions shattered
1:28Money's only paper only ink
1:34We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree
1:40How the world turns
1:42Who made the sun
1:44Who owns the sea
1:47The world we know will fall piece by piece
2:05Bared myself wholly heart and body unadorned
2:12Stripped down solely
2:15To the evil and the good
2:18Felt no shame
2:20Naked to the world
2:21And all illusions shattered
2:30Money's only paper only ink
2:37We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree
2:43How the world turns
2:45Who made the sun
2:46Who owns the sea
2:49The world we know will fall piece by piece
3:08Faced towards the sea
3:11Looked to heaven up above
3:14Felt the world revolve around me
3:17No one could tell me otherwise
3:20But the turbulent waters won't reflect this life
3:27Only the sun the moon and sky
3:30And all illusions shattered
3:36And all illusions shattered
3:45Money's only paper only ink
3:52We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree
3:58How the world turns
4:00Who made the sun
4:01Who owns the sea
4:04The world we know will fall piece by piece
4:23Money's only paper only ink
Touched the mirror Broke the surface of the water Saw my true self All illusions shattered 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 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 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 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 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 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 Only the sun the moon and sky And all illusions shattered And all illusions shattered 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 Money's only paper only ink
