[Verse 1] Each dawn I forge these fragile spoons of chrome While sirens sing to pull me from my home Metallic minutes tick away I smith and shape and shine and shave Each precious piece I place and save To spend throughout my day [Pre-Chorus 1] Spending silver faster than I'm mending Bending under pressure never ending Pretending that I'm whole Trading tarnished treasures for tomorrow Borrowing against deep debts of sorrow To feed my fractured soul [Chorus 1] These silver spoons aren't yours to claim You never earned that grace I forge them in my heart's own flame For those who know my face So take your hollow sympathy You can’t afford to start These spoons cost everything to me I won't let you steal them from my heart [Break] [Verse 2] Each silver edge reflects my careful craft A fragile shield against your endless draft Each choice a fleeting breath I weigh the worth of every gift I give And hold the strength for those who help me live While guarding what is left [Pre-Chorus 2] Spending silver faster than I'm mending Bending under pressure never ending Pretending that I'm whole Trading tarnished treasures for tomorrow Borrowing against deep debts of sorrow To feed my fractured soul [Chorus 2] These silver spoons aren't yours to claim You never earned that grace I forge them in my heart's own flame For those who know my face So take your hollow sympathy You can’t afford to start These spoons cost everything to me I won't let you steal them from my heart [Break – Guitar Solo] [Bridge] In drawers of dwindling light I search my silver store Each piece a precious fight Against what I deplore: Your endless appetite For what I cannot spare When day bleeds into night And spoons become so rare [Chorus 3] These silver spoons aren't yours to claim You never earned that grace I forge them in my heart's own flame For those who know my face So take your hollow sympathy You can’t afford to start These spoons cost everything to me I won't let you steal them from my heart [Final Verse] Every spoon I forge from dawn to dusk Bleeds silver from my core. I’ll spend each shard to serve the trust Of those I’m fighting for. These fleeting spoons, my soul defends, A finite flame that bends but never ends. So speak your threats and take your aim, But these spoons you’ll never claim. [Final Chorus] These silver spoons aren't yours to claim You never earned that grace I forge them in my heart's own flame For those who know my face So take your hollow sympathy You can’t afford to start These spoons cost everything to me I won't let you steal them from my heart (my heart…) (my heart…) [Break - Outro] I’ve got one spoon left... (one spoon left) and it's not for you… (not for you) and it's not for you… (not for you) and it's not for you… (not for you) [End]
