I wrote this years ago. As an excercise, I thought I'd concentrate more on the music and go for a minor key.
It didn't really grow on me. My excercise was a success though.
Just recently I've been producing it in a poppy way, lots of distorted guitar.
It's another strange song. More of a Frankenstein monster than a lovechild
one small victory

living the dream with bouts of insomnia
struggling with unfair demands of good faith
strength of the absurd, I've heard they're on to you
and with the intrinsic value of clay
white flags waving over your winter chimneys
accepting defeat with no loss of face
don't waste breath on me, y'know what the truth is
carry yourself with an auspicious grace
with both of us wrong were I to agree
you'll grant me this one, this one small victory
wake up a stranger in the land of promise
then get back, find that not so much has changed
morning's glory was anything but honest
tidy lill' trap in a dec'rative frame
clearly out of view, loud, good at what I do
get what I want, things should work out just fine
never put the hood over tactile values
myopic thugs, most faulty by design
prerequisite of our future history
it belongs to me, this one small victory
with both of us wrong were I to agree
you'll grant me this one, this one small victory
one small victory
