I Wish I Could

There are things inside me

That push me down from the surface

So I walk but seem to crawl

Feeling the haze, following any trace

I keep feeling lost

I'm screaming, but nothing ever comes out

Please give me some courage

To find my way out

I've been bleeding too long

But I know these pains will be gone

I'll make them go away

But I know the body can betray

Son, you have nobody to blame, but yourself!

It serves you right, son

These wounds can be healed

Just ask the Healer

This is a good, good deal

Just look at what you have done

Do not accuse anyone

And now

I wish I could redeem my soul

I wish that I could take control

And forget what I already know

And now

That I am tired and old

I reached the end of the road

It's too late to conquer the world
