Throw me a dime
Pay me a price
For I have pawned my soul...
At your doorstep
I stand...
With nothing, but pride
Covering my body...
Chipped away
At your behest...
Beneath catcalls
And whispers
Lie my memories...
Counting their days
Before the ashes
Haunt the air
From the tip
Of your midnight cigarette...
In a limbo
I surrender
All that was never mine
In exchange
For two pieces of copper...
I laugh my hollow laughter
As you strike a bargain...
Don't forget
To keep the change....
