frustration.

work in a web company,
 on a computer that runs like a 386
without even trying
 i come off like a dick
frustration, what am i going to do with you?
 it'll take a lot more mercy and a little more grace
 to get me through

it seems the harder i try
 the less i get done
i am dying in this cubicle
 with no access to the sun
frustration, what am i going to do with you?
 it'll take a lot more mercy and a little more grace
 to get me through

You command us not to be anxious
 to consider flowers in the midst of complication
but it's hard to hear you from where i stand
 i'd like to comply but doubt that i can
so, steeped in cynicism, i remain exiled in this land
 of frustration.

frustration. what the hell am i going to do with You?
 Who speaks of home and promises to see me through

Come visit my cube pastor jeff. Nothing in these walls are stopping us from soaking up the fresh mists of the outdoors, whilst you vent a bit more of life. Always an ever-present ear...

I know how you feel. I too hear the wind and the smell of sun and autumn creeping toward us on scratchy dead-leaf feet. I wait for it. I wait for that windy cloud-scudding day where my soul is washed clean for just a little while...just a little while...
