never a bargain

heave it off to the left
it wasn’t supposed to heal
it wasn’t a clear prescription, there was
never a doctor here

heave it off to the left
what’s yours will still remain
what’s yours is heavy loaded
what’s mine was a stupid claim

this was never a bargain
set up from the start
this was never a bargain
you can have it all

sample what’s to come
tastes a little bitter
serve a hefty dose now, you were
never a quitter

let’s see what’s left to come
it hasn’t dawned on us yet
that weighted words are lost like every
single losing bet

hand it off to the left
run a little harder
just feel the burn and push this
sinking ship a little farther

hand it off to the left
it wasn’t meant to last
a paper bag inhaler with a
reckoning past

back
