Purpose was written months after my emergency surgery, I remember very little about my time in the hospital back in September of 2009, but it left an indelible mark on me. This song sort of depicts my thought process during, and after the chaos.

lyrics

Opened up
Opened up
Opened up
Take the damn thing out

They taped you shut
They taped you shut
They taped you shut
But, was it enough?

God gave me something to work with
This thing between my legs
Oh golly gee, a girl with a purpose
“And she’s throwing it away
She’ll never get married this way”

They shut you up
They shut you up
They shut you up
But, enough is enough

What makes you ill
will kill the maternal clock inside you
You’ve had your fill
And you’ll never let another man inside you
There’s nothing there
There’s nothing left
Besides you
