Currency

(You're barely human, the way you walk away)

Sovereign chain me, operate me
Overtake me only for a night
If I act cowardly
It's all the power you tower over me

Born to borrow
Hard to rescue
I can feel your arms around my spine
Give in, get out of it
The more I stand
The more that I lie
Down

Caesar how'd you manage
How'd you conquer
Was there fever in your fight
All rise, all rise
All testify
At best I rest at your side
Born to borrow
Hard to rescue
I can feel your arms around my spine
Give in, give out of it
The more I stand
The more that I lie
Down

Sadness is a currency
I'll pay you every time
Indebted to you being there
While I remain stuck in my chair
Sadness is a chapel
I go there every time
In there it's free, no need to pay
Time's the only currency
Sadness is an ocean
You build up in your mind
A moat of moping
A river of rain
Collected in your spine

But feeling it in any amount
Is valuable and paramount
If loving you is to pay a toll
Then love
Is capital
