My Ever Changing Desire

Lust for love, lust for fame

Lust for currency, for things that shine,

Longing for everything, without shame

If it's yours it shall soon be mine

For greed is burning deep within

An eternal flame, olympian

And my envy lends fuel to the fire

As I give in to my every desire

But without it what would I be

Without desire for more, I would not be me

Greed, to me, is my reason, my drive

It keeps me afloat, keeps me alive

I gave in to greed long ago

Got scared of dying, getting old

Without a penny to my name

Dying cold and alone in the rain

But when all that you had is mine

I took your house, your wife's your ex

I'll give it up, the money, the wine

The house, your life, your ambitions, the sex

I'll leave it all, leave it all behind

And take everything from the next
