I’m on the precipice
I don’t want to see the rest of this
I don’t want to see
How this end will be
Financial ruin
Substantial dues in
Bankruptcy an option
That we’d rather not opt into
But the bills are coming faster
Uncle Sam is getting fatter
The bill for electricity
Will be the death of me
What would happen
If all this collapses in
What if we lost everything
It haunts me with every phone ring
Are they calling to collect?
Are they hauling off the car yet?
The cards are declining
And the children are whining
No groceries this week
When will the cost of everything peak?
Climbing with no end in sight
I’ve lost my will to fight
I take the punches on the chin
And waiting to see what’s left at the end
Trying to sell my plasma
I’m on the last of my
Options, but my health issues
Are too severe, this is too
Overwhelming
I’m over waiting
For my paychecks to reflect
Overtime that’s left my body a wreck
What if I lost my possessions?
If I may profess this
I’ve lost my desire to care
I’m almost already there
