I Wish I Could

This burning had lost control
And Gideon robbed my soul and so
Here is the human joke
I failed I failed I failed you
Here in this troubled mind
Where fortunes may turn the tide and so
By clichés I'm paralyzed
I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed you I failed you

I wish I could
I'd be the guardian of morality I should
But now my heart must face reality
And visited by inspiration
Visited by indignation again

Battling by the sword
A fear of the spoken word and so
Best grab your crown and turn
I failed I failed I failed you
So loathed to speak my name
And grow wretched by the day and so
It's better to die than to be enslaved
I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed you I failed you

I wish I could
I'd be the guardian of morality I should
But now my heart must face reality
And visited by inspiration
Visited by indignation again
I wish I could
I would eliminate this sense of longing
Do I dare not drown in what I am becoming
Promises have been rejected
My beliefs have been fragmented again
