[Verse 1] A key turns once in the silent room Iron breath and a mouth of rust Coins count down beneath the dust Gold stacked high where the daylight stops I built the lock, I swallowed the key A little kingdom with no way through [Pre-Chorus] Something scratches at the heavy door Who’s there, reaching for what is mine? I close my fist till the red runs warm Still I hear them on the other side [Chorus] I have everything, I possess nothing Heavy gold drags my soul through the dirt I have everything, I possess nothing Lock by lock, I bury what I’m worth [Verse 2] You ask for bread; I turn the bolt Your open hands make my blood run cold Shutters drawn against the day Curtains shut; keep the world away No borrowed warmth, no table shared Only the weight of what I guard [Bridge] Slow—hear the iron grind The room takes air; the walls draw tight This treasure chamber knows my name A tomb I built, a sealed-in grave [Final Chorus] I have everything, I possess nothing Heavy gold drives my bones through the dirt I have everything, I possess nothing Now the vault is the coffin I earned [Outro] Clink… clink… The last coin falls No hand reaches No sound at all
