Bought An Old Soul

Bought an old soul from the dearly departed

A place I can store the end that I started

Saved up all year, so there's no debt or barters

I bought an old soul that fits my whole heart in 


Tasting these tears as they fall upon me

I wasted each year that has no memory

Making room for love without fettered jargon 

I bought an old soul that fits my whole heart in 


Got a letter from a friend who said I need a shrink

I need medication and I don't need to drink

I received her with love, and I received him with whiskey

I'd receive them much better if they received it all with me


FOR SALE: an old mind that can't get much sorted

A messy old cavern with a whole lot of storage

Comes with two poles and an eye for a bargain

I bought an old soul that fits my whole heart in


The heart's just a muscle, and life's just its martyr 

Love's a cliche, one I'd love to be part of 

We'll take off our masks when there's uncharted waters

We'll all buy new souls to haul our old old hearts in
