I know I traded something

A part of me

For the splendid splendour of money

I did that thing you shouldn’t do

I gave myself to him

You know, the soul

Cut a piece of myself out for him

You know, the heart

I cut a piece of myself off for him

(You know which part)

But I didn't feel a thing

I'm waiting to miss it

Miss this

Thing

I'm waiting for the pain

You know, the burn, the sting

Waiting and waiting

But I was already empty to begin

So, I can’t fathom what it was that I gave him

Maybe a piece of coal

Or a stone

Rather than the human organ

The muscle that’s lodged in-between my bones

Who knows?

People said I would feel torn up inside

That I would be ashamed

That I would hide

But I am alive

And that is enough

I survived

And that is enough
