YOUR GRIEF
It starts today
It's time to take my life back
It's been too long
On this side of the train tracks
You did me wrong
Now you ‘bout to get the bitch slap
You did us harm
Now it's time for you to pay back
Can't be selfish
And expect to get a win
Sooner or later
You got to pay
The wages of sin
Running so long
You haven't stopped to look within
I can assure you
You don't want this pain I've lived
Just cause you can
No it doesn't mean you should
Put your faith
In the opposite of good
Now this devil
Is breathing down your neck
Come to collect
On your bill –
My karmic paycheck
It doesn't matter
If you think you got your way
Your devil's come
And you know he's there to stay
Hard to satisfy
Can't sate his appetite
When this demon
Sleeps next to you at night
He did you wrong
He did all this work for me
My time is come
Time to set that baby free
You broke it up
You destroyed a family
Not for love
But for someone's tainted money
Thought you had it all
But you'll watch it all collapsing
Put your faith
In a moment that was lapsing
Fleeting pennies
You already sold your soul to
But the story goes
You give it all
Then it's taken from you
You can't keep
What wasn't yours to take
You can't ratify
Decisions made in haste
I already told you
This would come back on you someday
The day has come
Time to restore
What you took away
I tried so hard
To keep it all intact
Forgave, forgot
But you just fought
And broke my back
Steeping in betrayal
With murder in your eyes
Couldn't believe
You had ever been my wife
A year has passed
And now you'll pay for your decisions
I changed my life
And made plenty of revisions
Turned myself over
Now I'm sworn to higher powers
I found my love
Now I'll watch yours be devoured
Signs and wonders
They can't ever lead astray
But greed and whoredom
They only lead one way
No more anger
Because I'm nearly satisfied
Won't even blame you
Because now I hold my head up high
Been released
From the pain
To my relief
But yes I'll giggle
As you struggle through your grief
