Sorrow’s pounding on my door, quarter to midnight, relentless, bill collector after my feelings.
I explain my situation
Unforeseen emotional expenses have left me under budget and no way to make the minimum payment
He’s heard it all before, he can hear the pre-rehearsed lines in my voice and presents me with a predetermined standard payment plan - he acts as the devil and I sign over my soul for an undeterminable amount of time for collateral
It’s useless really, he’ll never get the debt I owe
As soon as emotion comes in I’m going all out, he’ll never get paid
I’m already grief’s ***** and sorrow wants in too,
I’m popular in stocks of hardship and heartless - there are perks to the situation if you choose to see them
Without feeling anger no longer pollutes my mind
Hope passed through but with no vacancy he moved on to someone else, I don’t sleep well, but without emotions I do get to sleep
