There’s Money in the Walls
It's been 30 days, maybe 34
Since I left my house, tossed and grown out
The fires burn below
Pistons creak and groan
Under my feet the tension grows
Built up like the leaves around my door
They can say it better than I can
After months of neglect
I can start over again if I would just let it

This is how we live, when we live somewhere
With quiet nights inside making plans to make a life
To keep it all safe inside and outside
Dear anyone, do you know what that's like
Remembering all of it
Our building pieces stacked on top
Hanging over each other and packed in
Keep it simple
Keep it

When you don't go on
Your song lives on
When I don't go on

The channel turns against the keel
There's no turning back
Thumbing my buttons
Nervously in my bed under cold sheets
Hiding the thunder inside of me
My young wife made this shirt
I'm turning in the surf
With my hat in my hand and my feet off the ground
At least it's a start
If it has to be, I'll starve on my own payroll
Trying to make living better
I think that was the goal
The oils moves, feeds the machine, the pressure builds
The war outside is rattling
Pushes smoke out past the rings
My heart's been dreaming about sparks
This heavy pull is strengthening my last resolve
It's all burnt up
The fire's gone
You can have it all
An early morning calls
And I'm not there to start
My watch is on the table ticking in the dark
And there's money in the walls of my heart
And I left it there for you
Even if it all has to end, I'm still glad you were my friend
May it kill what ails you and never fail you
Three fingers in the wind
Yeah, three fingers in the wind
When we don't go on

When you don't go on
Your song lives on
When I don't go on
Sing along with me

Your song lives on
Our song lives on
I'll sing along with you
Just sing along with me

When you don't go on
Your song lives on
When I don't go on
Sing along with me
Your song lives on
Our song lives on
I'll sing along with you
So sing along with me

When you don't go on
Your song lives on
When I don't go on
Sing along with me

Your song lives on
Our song lives on
I'll sing along with you
So sing along with me

(We don't go on
Our song lives on)
