Not letting someone use you.
Sold your soul
Sold your self
Sold your heart
Sold your baby
Sold your rented wife…
I flip through the channels of life
Realizing
Visualizing
What is out there
For me
An Ocean
A picket fence
Peace
Love
In a treasure chest
I set sail to find it
I have my weathered map
A broken compass
Yes I have lost my way
But heaven she routes for me
And Jesus he offers a cigar
He knows the bottles empty
And I need him to go far
Sold your soul
Sold your wife
Sold our Baby
And I may be just a writer lost in
A box of crayons
But I know
I am not for rent
I take the sign down
Wash out the bloody footprints left in a bruised heart
Set the pictures on fire
Put up the for sale sign
And the devil offers me suggestions
I turn my head
I see you driving the street now
Now that I am gone
Never bothered to find me
Before …
Not for rent
Can you see?
And maybe
You are here pouring out in these lines
But treason
Cannot be forgiven
Honor has her Armor on….
