Make Me An Offer

Empty safe. Dry well. Quiet phone. No sell. Bills stacked. Card maxed. No shine. Outtaxed. Used to swim In gold. Now I’m cold.
I had it all, blew it all
fed the beast till it ate my spine
Now I am standing in the street Holding a cardboard sign.
Make me an offer
I will sell you every piece of soul I have not burned
Set your price and watch me squirm

that is the lesson I never learned
I hoarded till it killed me
now I am begging in the mess
Greed had me by the throat for years
Now I am the one saying “yes.”
Pawn shop. Dim light. My ring. Your price. You smirk. Low bid. I nod. You win. Old watch. Dead end. “No one cares.”
All the things I would not share

all the love I turned to cash
Sit in your glass case now, Marked down as trash.
Make me an offer
I will sell you every piece of soul I have not burned
Set your price and watch me squirm
that is the lesson I never learned
I hoarded till it killed me

now I am begging in the mess
Greed had me by the throat for years
Now I am the one saying “yes.”
Bank calls. No deal. House gone. Bare steel. I call Old friends. Need help. They end The chat Real quick. “Can’t do shit.”
Make me an offer
I will sell you every piece of soul I have not burned
Set your price and watch me squirm

that is the lesson I never learned
I hoarded till it killed me
now I am begging in the mess
Greed had me by the throat for years
Now I am the one saying “yes.”
Once I made the world come crawling with a single raised hand
Now I stand in the rain, hand out

Begging anybody To care.
