rough draft

I tried to tell you how I felt
More so I could try to try to fool myself
And you were the cause, you were my fall
I don't have anything, you could take it all

And when I drag myself back home
And when I leave this puppet show
You're the difference.

And you were the thing that I held dear
Bright shiny stones lodged in your ears
A broken grey man seranades
With blood on my shins, my skin - the concrete pulled away.

And when I drag myself away
When I break the words I made
You're the difference.

Give it up to me
Ain't no one in this world who is free
And the soul of honor costs a dollar
But you get it for less on the street.

I raised a monster
I raised the debt
I taught you what it means to pay.

Make it out to me
There is nothing that I do that is free
The soul of honor costs a dollar
But you'll never get it from me.

I raised a monster
I raised my rates
I sold you hope, then made you wait.

Give it up to me
We're not virgins we all are diseased
With all the shit in our mouths it's a wonder
We're able to breathe.

I built a shambles
I built a shack
I gave you time - I took it back.
