There's a gulf in the grind
From what could be to what
Should be mine
You take what you're given
Leading off with a sigh
My god I swear I'm not like this
I learned acceptance early on in this life
As a hostage of time
I only want to court the spark
The system is secure
If you never open up
The strongbox
How in heaven do I ask for what I want?
Matryoshka nonchalance
Only idiots can be know-it-alls
And I'm retired from the practice of law
No more judgement calls
I only want to court the spark
The system is secure
If you never ask for more
From the strongbox
How in heaven do I find what I long for?
There's a gulf in the grind
From what could be to what
Should be mine
The conquest to be right
Wraps up like blankets
Far too tight
I only want to court the spark
