Whats Bought Will Break

Don’t buy me diamonds on my watch Buy me something that can’t be seen Don’t buy me lies, rather some scotch For the luxurious life, I’m not too keen Come to find that watch you bought Brandishing fine diamonds and gold Is used to tell time, have you thought? Maybe you’ve been bought and sold? For time it tells, the function is such Lost in the fanciness for what I ask Fake pedestal, it’s used as a crutch Guise for emptiness, a clever mask See, that watch is just a mental bind Buy me something that always lasts That petty possession can’t buy time Anything bought can break like glass All that you have, just piles to the sky I want to be free, like a soaring dove Weightless from the chains I shall fly What can’t be bought, is surely love.
