The cost of a place

Is there never a place for me
One that is an equal exchange
Is the hope so strange
I speak to you but you don't see
I do all I can down to be free
Are you stupid I never expected it to be
I pay my way and you over charge
And think yourself entitled
To all of my energy and attention
Too
I pay rent and work for you
And you act like I do nada
And buy yourself Prada
While I'm no hater
I just don't see how you think I owe
You so much I cringe at your touch

Your words are lies
You can't be accountable
You make me sick
You are nothing to me but a trick
I only have to be here right now
The suffering will bring joy
I get to bask daily in the light of my boy
You leer at me like a spoiled child.
Would a new toy
But your advances are futile
I just need to stay awhile
I could never desire you like that
You remind me of a Cheshire cat
So please enjoy your new bounty
Whilst you sit and spin reeling
In total disbelief I have no feeling
What about you makes you think
Your so appealing
You lie and cheat me
Hello it's still fucking stealing
Knowing I have no option but this
So you squeeze me for all I have
You claimed you were trying to. Help me and until you started to want more than I want to give
Please not for a place to live
So the price climbs each month
And soon it will be more than I'm willing to pay
I have no time to play
What else is there to say?
God father please don't let me portray
The truth I've written today. Amen
