Lyrics

Desperation, I know you all too well
The sister to my saddened heart, the bride of my own hell
But ambition, you're my best friend and my worst
'Cause you lead me to the fallowed field and cut me like a curse
Intuition, are my senses growing dim?
Backed up in this corner now with no way to win
But ambition, you're my best friend and my worst
'Cause you lead me to the fallowed field and cut me like a curse
Seclusion, I spend too much time alone
And it's the water to the fisherman, the hammer to the stone
Ambition, you're my best friend and my worst
'Cause you lead me to the fallowed field and cut me like a curse
Inspiration, you used to come around
And I was always waiting there when the sun went down
Religion, don't forget your blue-eyed boy
Who wrestles with the angels and bleeds the blood of joy
Invitations, I have had them all before
From the smiling man with the greasy hand to the empty-hearted whore
But ambition, you're my best friend and my worst
'Cause you lead me to the fallowed field and cut me like a curse
