It’s like an itch I can’t scratch

Lighting fire with a wet match

Cutting meat with a dull spoon

Trying to encapsulate the moon

To fight is futile

The beating’s brutal

I can’t outrun destiny

It has bested me

I guess I have to give in

Because I just can’t win

But winning isn’t supreme

If you live in the dream

I don’t have to fight against what’s right

I can hand myself over

To that heavenly other

I will know transcendence

Through a shared existence

And so I’ll give in

Because I don’t need to win
