[LYRICS] [Intro] Boots on the dirt, moon over red clay Every debt’s collected when the sky turns gray [Verse 1] They told me I was timeless But they carved my pain on stone Whispered “rest in peace,” while counting the bones You think we’re broke? No We just trade in different tolls Selling stories in grave dust, funerals on the trail Wanted posters fading, prophets set to fail I watched Mary fade by the churchhouse door But heaven stays locked when you’re poor and ignored [Chorus] Casket currency, death’s got rates Every scar taxed, every silence inflates They buy your story once your heart goes still You’re worth more than the undertaker’s bill [Verse 2] Obits read like ledgers, debts in the rain Coffins like credit cards we swipe in vain Breath ain’t free, it’s a stone on the chest We pay in silence for the tears suppressed Your name turns gold on a weathered old cross But the blood runs cold for the ones still lost That roadside marker said “Time Won’t Tell” And the desert won’t speak for the souls that fell [Bridge] Uncle Tone got gunned, they called it fate I see him in shadows outside the gate Brother Kev zipped cold, I kissed his head They cashed him out, but I still owe that debt [Chorus] Casket currency, our loss won’t break us We pay in scars, but still stand graceless They buy your story once your heart goes still You’re worth more than the undertaker’s bill [Outro] They don’t pay heed till you’ve paid in full They don’t hear your song till the night turns cruel Casket currency, death’s dark deal Stamped in blood—worth they’ll never steal [End] [KEY/TEMPO] [(User to select: Suggest D Minor / 148 BPM)]
