Cruel Economy

Reflections turned upside down
Letting go of your expectations
Chasing shadows on the walls
Can you walk away from it all?

I see your tears
It’s a cruel economy
I lie, you lie, we all are family
Will you fight for me
Or will you fight me?
Calculated, is that what love is?

Reflections of us on the ground
Eviction is the expectation
Fading shadows on the walls
What will you take from it all?

I see your tears
It’s a cruel economy
I lie, you lie, we all are family
Will you fight for me
Or will you fight me?
Calculated, is that what love is?

We live hand to mouth
We live mouth to gut
We live gut to mind
Your heart breaks every time

Love will not pay for
Pay for anything
Love will not make a home
Take me home
Take me home
