mercy paid for me

my pulse rises
i buy
consumed by the thought of what i want
consumption began before i paid

my wallet is my power
if my world is this one only
if i am the judge then more is more

the fool looks to money
as the thirsty looks to water
money does not satisfy
drinking it makes you thirstier still

only fools look to money
the way the runner sees the finish
there is no limit, no end
the finish line ever advancing

"the economy of mercy
is where my soul began" - Switchfoot
