Reprieve

[sycoratman]

Young and faithless
All you wanted to ever know
was the whys of the world
Come to find out
was maybe more than you wanted to know
that time searching wasted, wasted

Fiery Spirit
let loose out on into the world
see a bright road up ahead
Come to find out
brightness can be mistaken for dark
Desperate now to find the part, you belong

Find your spark keep it
locked up in a drawer don't leak it
Meanings seldom mean
much in the scheme of things
read this as a reprieve

Shoot a flare up
Surely someone will notice the thing
only rescue could it bring, down on you
Come to find out
Rescue aint all its cracked up to be
They just tie you down and cart you away, away

Be advised love
Is something of which you may want to avoid
Child you don't want to swallow that toy
Come to find out
You stand as much to gain as to lose
Take a big bite and suffer on through, it makes you

Find your spark keep it
locked up in a drawer don't leak it
Meanings seldom mean
much in the scheme of things
read this as a reprieve
