heart money
right now
i bet she's sitting there
still
stuck inside an awful stare
wondering why there's no love in her life
a look that pulls the tears outside
from their out of sight lives
take in the poison oxygen of no one who cares
she traded all her heart's money
for a sick, broken down body
tonight
i know she'll look around
for
the nearest thought to take her out
past the wasteland, bitter paradise that is her life
when she feels the echo swell
inside her hollowed out shell
so used to the ring
that it is hard to believe
that it is hard to believe
she traded all her heart's
money
for a sick broken down body
