There ain’t no more of me
to give to you.
Dry as the desert August wind
high hopes for Love to quench
There ain’t no more of me
for you to pick apart
Roadside raven
plucked and torn
There ain’t no more of me
to give to you.
My life–a shell of broken promises,
A cracked and crumbling castle
There ain’t no more of me
Bled dry.
Stained, soiled and calcified.
Empty. Battered. Torn in two.
One–a shattered vessel where hope once stood.
The other brimming with lies of what I’m supposed to be.
There ain’t no more of me
to give to you.
Cuz the lies I’m living,
Killed the life meant for you.
There ain’t no more of me
Pull my heartstrings
In return, nothing back.
Only remain’s a void of black
There ain’t no more of me
to give to you
A well run dry, nothing to prime
As dusty promises choke my soul.
