Trader

I traded in my chorus pedal for a twenty dollar bill.

I traded in government distrust for a blue pill.

I traded in my love for fiction so I could never lie.

I traded in my whole damn life so I would never die.

But I kept your love, it'll never leave my side.

The only thing I'd trade that for is being with you twice.

I traded in my Starter jacket for a Discharge t-shirt.

I traded in my Sixers jersey when they traded The Answer.

I traded in my childhood heroes for toys that look like them.

I traded in my ringing ears so I could hear what you said.
