00:17Midnight falls on this empty house again
00:25Tables set for one, no laughter, just the rain
00:32I pay for every comfort that I need
00:38Warm food on the table, a spotless home, no need to plead
00:48It's quiet, it's simple, no fighting, no demands
00:54But something in my chest still breaks and slips right through my hands
01:02Why should a man keep searching?
01:06Why should a man still try?
01:10Why build a life together when peace can be bought
01:14And nights don't make you cry?
01:17I get everything I need without the pain of love gone wrong
01:24But every single morning, the silence feels so long
01:36Soft hands that come and go before the morning light
01:43No promises to break, no tears to dry at night
01:51The house stays clean, the hunger never stays
01:57I pay the price for comfort, but the heart still pains
02:07No rings, no vows, no future left to fear
02:13Yet loneliness keeps whispering
02:17That something real ain't here
02:21Why should a man keep searching?
02:25Why should a man still try?
02:29Why build a life together when peace can be bought
02:33And nights don't make you cry?
02:35I get everything I need without the pain of love gone wrong
02:43But every single morning, the silence feels so long
02:50I see the fire fading in this kingdom I call mine
02:57All the gold and quiet comfort can't replace what's missing every time
03:04A throne without a queen is just an empty crown
03:12A heart without connection, slowly burning down
03:19Why does the soul still ache for what it cannot buy?
03:27Why does the heart keep screaming when the money says it's fine?
03:34All this peace I purchased leaves me cold inside
03:42I'm the king of nothing, with no one by my side
03:48Why should a man keep searching?
03:52Why should a man still try?
03:56Why raise the hurt of loving when the easy road won't make you cry?
04:02I have everything I paid for
04:05Yet I've never felt so alone
04:11In the end I'm standing
04:16But I've lost my only home
04:21The throne is mine forever
04:24But the kingdom feels so small
04:28Echoes of what's missing
04:35Echoing through it all
04:40Echoing through it all
04:46Echoing through it all
