your name
by benwa
your name
is your name worth dying for
when all you got is worn
you take your heart and wring it out
and sell it for scrap
pound it, and put it on the heap
scream you little beggar
lie yourself to sleep
hang your filthy soul out to dry
you love to be their scum
eat the dirt and ask for more
everyone says your a savior
but you cant save a dime
buy your whores, drink your wine
love yourself a lil less
pour yourself a lil more
damn it all, not worth the price you pay
sing a lullabye, a dirge that we can learn
we hum the tune as we watch your body burn
it's all a lie and we drink drink drink
drink your rotten soul, your damned spot
just a sip for those left behind
is 6 feet enough to cover your disgrace
let's spread you around, mutton for a miserable pound
and eat your disgust
you failed, and we pick up the scraps
you are tossed to the birds like so much carrion
and youre forgotten like so many ages
not even god will remember
she is dried and barren
she is tired and cold
she begs for gentle mercy
and she gets none but old
youre only a mem'ry she cant recall
the name of one of her ragged cats
she feeds you a morsel
and you sleep at her feet
most ghosts are dead for ages
and few remain to roam
dust is a four letter word
and your name is dust
