Heart Paid

Cage in my chest is hollow.
Kept in check by these bitter pills I swallow.
Once I could’ve been called a man.
Now I’m an entity out here drifting.
Alone, condemned, barely alive.
This is not a state in which you survive.

So pick me clean.
Remove my stain.
Little matters if I am but a drain.
On myself for the mistakes I’ve made.
There is a debt that has to be paid.

Fractured by the howling storms.
Too long and deep i have been forlorn.
Held in suspension by intent.
What remained is way past spent.
Ruined, wretched, withered away.
All that remains of me is poison decay.

So pick me clean.
Remove my stain.
Little matters if I am but a drain.
On myself for the mistakes I’ve made.
There is a debt that has to be paid.

End to torment.
Finality incitement.
Give me the judgement!

Pick me clean.
Remove my stain.
Little matters if I am but a drain.
On myself for the mistakes I’ve made.
There is a debt that has to be paid.
