The Currency of Seconds

(Verse 1) I woke up in a city built of glass and sand Where no one carries silver in their hand The market’s quiet, no prices on the wall Because the greatest climb is not to have it all I traded an hour of sunlight for a bed Instead of counting gold, I count the words we said (Chorus) Oh, in this Invisible City, the clock is our king But we don’t run for the bell, we listen to it ring Where a second is a fortune, and a day is a prize We’re rich in the moments we look in each other’s eyes The world turned upside down, and finally feels right In the city of shadows, we’re chasing the light (Verse 2) The banks are filled with silence and with sleep The only secrets that the people keep Is how they spent their morning watching rain Without the hunger or the hollow pain Of chasing a number that never is enough Here, the softest heart is made of the strongest stuff (Chorus) Oh, in this Invisible City, the clock is our king But we don’t run for the bell, we listen to it ring Where a second is a fortune, and a day is a prize We’re rich in the moments we look in each other’s eyes The world turned upside down, and finally feels right In the city of shadows, we’re chasing the light (Bridge) [Build up - Drum swell] Burn the ledgers, break the gears We’ve been trading our lives for fears But here the currency is a breath, a smile, a touch We never knew that "nothing" could mean so much (Guitar Solo - Melodic and Airy) (Outro) Time is the river, and we are the shore Not asking for "less," not asking for "more" Just stay... Just stay a little longer. [Fade out] [End]
