lyrics

I understand
This is not you volunteering
One could in fact
Convey in words more maturely

Can you expect
To be so brazen in pairing
An artefact
With an intent so unsparing

I admit I will adhere but to what end I am not sure.
Calling me out as if you care for a rapport

Verse2
I could exact
Avarice so reassuring
Could be this thread
Could be what I am enduring

Pre-chorus
What's standing in the way of me
enlightening myself
What use is comfort when it shoulders my ill health

What’s starved of meaning in a life before
Taught me it's teeming with words I once adored
It is befitting of a crown
There is seldom any doubt
You are a penance unavowed
You have the makings of a clown

What's standing in the way of me
enlightening myself
What use is comfort when it shoulders my ill health
