the register goes clank

it made a noisy clank
each time a key was punched
the register added to account
every little thing you sucked from this house

my lips
      clank
my tongue
      clank
my neck
      clank
chest and breast
      clank, clank

my skin
      clank
my core
      clank
vital energy
      clank
peace of mind
      clank, clank, clank, clank, clank, clank *boom!*

you've been served on a silver platter
while I struggled to keep the doors open
but truth be told
I went bankrupt the day you asked me to bring the menu
