Paid In Full

Put a bounty on my head,
I'm worth more dead,
Than all my years on earth,
A price determined by worth.

Easy come, Easy go,
It all comes down to that,
Prized possesions gained,
Money, greed, and fame.

Everything is never enough,
My life's the price paid,
But your happiness still fades,
The journey long and tough.

Tell me the amount due,
That will set you free,
From the hell I bring to you?
My soul taken from me,
Stamp my heart "Paid in Full".
