Yearning

I’m yearning towards some grand design

Wherein I sew Thief (2014) shut again

And myself in with it

— -

I’m yearning towards some grand design

Thief and Nitrome and the album

All of them bigger than possible

At least if you believe all this hype about mortality

— -

I’m yearning towards some grand design

That means something, I just don’t know (Y)

(Y) being the button you press to Focus

Unless you’re playing with the “Classic Thief Mode” modifier

— -

I’m yearning towards some grand design

But I’m grappling with diminishing returns

Maybe that phrase only has three good stanzas in it

— -

I’m yearning towards some grand design

A mushroom above my head tells me to

Dig, Dig, Dig

And who am I to argue with a mushroom

If you know, you know

— -

I’m yearning towards some grand design

What if players played two cards a turn instead of one?

Sure it’s imbalanced, but who isn’t?

— -

I’m yearning towards some grand design

And it’s comforting to know

That the grander the design, the less likely I reach it

I’d hate to sully it with this crap
