Mercenary Emotions - Craig Grounds Original Song

My first new song in what feels like a while: "Mercenary Emotions."

Lyrics:

Inspiration in a dream, but can't seem
To find the time to force
These words darting here and there
To converge in a straight line
Anytime, anywhere I try
I'm always intercepted, pulled
By twin points of the compass
That impersonates my guide

I hunger for the middle again
Each line's another riddle and then
A wonder that you can't explain away

Chorus:
Mercenary emotions fail to
Inter a deeper truth
Defer to your highness destined
To be misconstrued
While you collect
I'm waiting; I'm waiting for
An indication that
You're hoping; you're hoping
To keep me late

Sentimental in two bands around my wrist
A mid-summer night's song
We sang until informed that
We did not belong
I pushed the boundaries, broke the locks
Entertained, and damned the clocks
Drank in your skin,
And then believed

A distance interdicted me then
But now that interval's at an end
Still every day I long to elevate

Chorus

Devil's in the details and it's all my fault
Taking it for granted that you're rubbing in salt
White on slate
I can see my fate
And it haunts me

Every loop and detour will end
Love: a disbelief to suspend;
The one and only tonic for my pain
