Penny
Michael Thomas Kinsella
A penny for your thoughts
What's left of my ego, my eyes,
and a lifetime of blind obedience for your love
I'm just dumb enough to beg
Hands and knees and everything short of a diamond ring
I won't be fooled again
I'm wasting my time chasing your light
A circuitous clown balancing on a wire between two lives
Man, I'm just wasted
A penny for your thoughts
And quite literally the entirety of my life insurance policy for your love
I hope it's enough
You're so soft spoken you might blow away
You're so soft spoken you might blow away
You're so soft spoken that I'm afraid you might blow away
I'm afraid"
