The physical eluded
Abstract is what remains
Apply it and discover
The life within your veins
The knowledge deemed forbidden
The shame of gods above
Now claimed as one man's treasure
Fits him like a glove
It wraps around his neck
It chokes him with delight
He reaches out for help
But none in fading sight

The physical eluded
Abstract is what remains
Apply it and discover
The life within your veins
The knowledge deemed forbidden
The shame of gods above
Now claimed as one man's treasure
Fits him like a glove
It wraps around his neck
It chokes him with delight
He reaches out for help
But none in fading sight
Homework is hard.
