here it is returned
slanted scorched and burned
knoted twisted tied up with strings
stapled, glued band aided with things
if i throw it to you
will you try to catch
this thing i'm replused to hold
this horrible wretch
barb wire and stitches
it's clearly been torn
been trampled in ditches
because of the way it was worn
this heart mortgaged by my dreams my life
failed to make a payment so i've slit it with a knife
and this is the gift i get for giving my life?
but where are my dreams, i'm bound in a strife
so here it is returned
slanted scorched and burned
knotted twisted tied up with strings
stapled, glued band aided with things
