Where Moth And Rust Destroy Lyrics - Tourniquet

The world is quick to tell us 

The media compels us 

For me to have and you to not 

Is the difference in our lot 

If you must compound your joy 

Then you must acquire this toy 

Just remember this - a kiss is just a kiss 

A smile is just a smile 

The things you own will not atone 

Or spare you from the life you've sown 

Where moth and rust destroy 

A land of tears and sadness 

When those who put their faith in things 

Find out it's only madness 

Enjoy all that He gives you 

But make sure you can see through 

The haze that blocks the clarity 

Of seeing the eternity 

Of things that last and things that don't 

Of choices we should make, but won't 

If you will just incline your ear 

There is something you must hear 

Heed his words and you'll be free 

From loving more than Me 

Where moth and rust destroy 

A land of tears and sadness 

When those who put their faith in things 

Find out it's only madness 

Choose - you must choose 

You must choose 

Who you serve 

Just waiting in the darkened wings 

The voice that says to trust in things 

Aspire to acquire - aspire to acquire 

Light the sacrificial fire 

Death to things
