The Greatest Gift of Grievance Lyrics

I've been flipping coins into candy pots

Elusive impermanence

Make a wish fleeting like

The foundation never held the weight of my burdens anyway

Take a seat in the pressure of gravity

Bound and heavy in my boundaries

Lost everybody to make space for somebody

To let go and leave is the greatest gift of grievance

Tippy toe around the eggshell potholes in your logic

Ripping through the chords of your brain like

I'm some kind of sadist

I wish you'd retreat to the cave in your chest

Wish wish your heart would make like the Grinch on Christmas

Grow three sizes and shatter like that glass you threw at tap

I'd give every magic genie wish

If it meant you'd only speak some version of the truth from your lips

Made wine from stomach acid

Bottled in the drug dealers mother's basement

You loaded up your water gun and let it rain Area 51 septic

Took everyone's shocked faces and painted mini portraits

Set up a booth at the art fair and clocked your profit

Made me a relic and an art historian

See, I'm old enough to tell the tale

Of the wars that live at the palms of your hands

When you love someone, you don't tie them up without consent

You never ran through my comments because you know my people got me

You stay in your corner where your people stay toxic
