Contentment, oh so rare
A fine jewel obscure to man
A treasure buried underneath our many possessions

Its quite tiresome you know
To find the key
To find the fix
I traveled to, I traveled through
To find the key
To find the fix

I did what every one else did
Set my mind on vanity
Spent my pay on luxury
But “luxury is artificial poverty”

[Chorus]
We sit at the banquet table
Meals served like we’re kings and queens
Yet all we ingest is a plate of envy
We sit at the banquet table
Meals served like we’re kings and queens
Starving for a taste of whats across from me

Is it ever enough?
Is it in my head? Is it in my blood?
I ran out of room
I couldn’t find the space for ease
I bought what they sold
Consume, consume, I’m consumed

Exhausting myself, I spin on an endless loop
“When I have this then I'll be happy
When I have that then I'll be set free”

[Chorus]
We sit at the banquet table
Meals served like we’re kings and queens
Yet all we ingest is a plate of envy
We sit at the banquet table
Meals served like we’re kings and queens
Starving for a taste of whats across from me

An accumulation of assets
But still a groaning in our stomaches
Who knew vacuity inside would be so heavy

But may we strive for a greater gain
Free from the burden of silver
A perspective that is rich and worth the weight of gold

I will be wealthy not in what I own
But in what I can do with out
Contentment, oh so rare
A fine jewel obscure to man
A treasure buried underneath possessions
