The broken record plays the tune 
And I dance coz I’m the only one in the room 
And it’s effervescent gold
But I still do what I’m told 
When they get the whip and chain
And scream like they’re making it rain 
When they bellow at me 
But it only fans the fire sacramentally 
As I kneel in the temple of my own being 
And no one can take away what I’m seeing 
Like that boy I professed my soul to 
He told me where to go but you 
Can’t make me leave home
Even if you leave me there all alone 
It’s my house anyway
And though I’m sad that you couldn’t stay
I’m not gonna make you play
Some game that means you do what I say
If you don’t want to 
Go do you 
And go do her 
I don’t know what we were 
If the whole time 
You were living the crime
You kept from me 
And our history 
Is a greyed out, redacted document 
Kept in the file of “once heaven sent”
