Verse 1:
Cash on my mind, but time's running out
Chasing the paper, but shadows of doubt
Got my pockets full, yet my soul feels drained
In the mirror, it's clear, I can't escape the pain
Pre-Chorus:
Every dollar earned, a moment lost
The price of living, have I counted the cost?
Chorus:
Money in my hand, but death on my mind
Life slipping through like sand, oh, I can't rewind
Gold turns to dust when you're staring at the end
Riches can't hold worth, when there's no time left to spend
Verse 2:
Building empires, working night and day
Dreams of luxury, but there's a price to pay
Every fortune gained, digits on the screen
Haunted by thoughts of what it all means
Bridge:
Is it all for the glory, or just the need to feel?
When the heart stops beating, what is truly real?
A legacy in numbers, or love that we keep?
When we lay to rest, will it matter in our sleep?
Chorus:
Money in my hand, but death on my mind
Life slipping through like sand, oh, I can't rewind
Gold turns to dust when you're staring at the end
Riches can't hold worth, when there's no time left to spend
Outro:
In the final hour, when the curtains close
Will I find peace, or just a cold repose?
With money in my hand, and death in my sight
I pray for meaning in the silent night

Beat not available
money and thinking of death
