I chased the shine

I chased the sound

Built it all up

Just to break down

Hands full of dust

Heart still is bare

Rooms full of things

Nobody there

I thought more would mean something

But it just means more weight

What’s it gonna take?

I've bought all they could make

Everything I throw

Inside my empty hole

Doesn't make me full

It only takes its toll

What’s it gonna take?

Is this all a big mistake?

Why does everything seem fake?

Tell me, what’s it gonna take?

The louder nights

Quieter soul

The crowded life

but still alone

Gold in my hands

Ash in my chest

Gave it my all

Still not at rest

If this world’s got the answer

Why do I feel this ache?

What’s it gonna take?

I've bought all they could make

Everything I throw

Inside my empty hole

Doesn't make me full

It only takes its toll

What’s it gonna take?

Is this all a big mistake?

Why does everything seem fake?

Tell me, what’s it gonna take?

Maybe I’m looking

In all the wrong places

Running in circles

Chasing these faces

Maybe the silence

Is where You speak

Maybe I’m strong

When I’m finally weak

What’s it gonna take?

I've bought all they could make

Everything I throw

Inside my empty hole

Doesn't make me full

It only takes its toll

What’s it gonna take?

Is this all a big mistake?

Why does everything seem fake?

Tell me, what’s it gonna take?

Maybe all this

Money, pleasure

Isn't what we

Were designed for
