Lyrics

The Very Thing I Despise
[HarryBudini]

I know I should never dare to moan
with all the things that happen in the world
but I fear is something I can't contain
just like clouds loaded with rain
while I vainly reach for the prize
that's the very thing I despise

What you learn to implement and apply
to deconstruct until you don't even try
the steps your feet might want to take
are the dead leaves you have to rake
you can take that dream and rationalize
that's the very thing I despise

The promise I used to see in your eyes
that's the very thing I despise
would you please give me a break
it would only bring harm and ache

My life has been a long cold night
I don't even know what it's like - a bit of light
so couldn't I bribe
you to describe
so that I could recognize
the very thing I despise

Staring into the sun hurt the eyes
so what better idea than hide them in the dark/ice
the promise I used to see in some eyes
that's the very thing I despise

A defense mechanism - let's not pretend
I can surely break - but I cannot bend
what you can't have you must destroy
so I turned my toy
- and I might have been unwise -
into the very thing I despise
