Tendency to lead astray Are my compulsions to fail My heart, which I've given And to fold My hand, which I've taken Unto the random deck of absurdity Choking on the verbosity Of those knee-deep in rare synonyms Without the obscure idea of a foundation Standing precariously on sharpened edges With my name swathed in the blood roots Tying the rambling Oak To suffer in unlit ignorance of a new age.

Bitter
Tendency to lead astray Are my compulsions to fail My heart, which I've given And to fold My hand, which I've taken Unto the random deck of absurdity Choking on the verbosity Of those knee-deep in rare synonyms Without the obscure idea of a foundation Standing precariously on sharpened edges With my name swathed in the blood roots Tying the rambling Oak To suffer in unlit ignorance of a new age.
