My Beautiful Reward Lyrics

verse 2 is the continuation of verse 1, I think. He tried storing material riches and then in verse 2, there is a religious allusion but mainly he's saying he owned this big mansion yet didn't feel like he belonged. it's along with the rest of the songs on Lucky Town; he was going the wrong way till he found his family.
