I've been living beyond my means,
reckless, irreversible, for far too long
I've borrowed, spent and spent
I can't sustain it anymore.
I've taken from you
freely given perhaps, but pounds
are pounds when paid in flesh
and this is nothing less than liquidation
you've nothing to give, oh, I know
I'm scrambling, pleading with
implacable men in dark suits
inscrutable behind horizon lenses
you're out there, lost to deprivation
we wish each other sleep
we wish each other well but
I've nothing you want anymore
.
