Everywhere I go is goddamn crowded and/or empty,
And everyone I meet there, they’re all talking shit about me. (Fuck you!)
Every smile I see’s fucking forced, yellowed, and reeking.
I wish it were not this way,
But the truth’s in my face.
In my face!
I wish I
Could hear (I wish I could hear)
The things you do (I wish I could think, I wish I could see, I wish I could be)
I wish I (I wish I could hear, I wish I could think, I wish I could see)
Could think (I wish I could be, I wish I was not, I wish I could be)
The way you do (I wish I could hear, I wish I could think)
The sunlight’s just a halogen bulb a billion lightyears away.
That frigid flicker-buzz in my ears distorts the things I say. (I’m blind!)
And what I say is always shitty, I can tear down any good day.
I’ll drag everyone to my level so I can get my own way.
Get my own way!
I wish I
Could see (I wish I could hear)
The sky you see. (I wish I could think, I wish I could see, I wish I could be)
I wish I (I wish I could hear, I wish I could think, I wish I could see)
Could be (I wish I could be, I wish I was not, I wish I could be)
Just like you. (I wish I could hear, I wish I could think)
I wish I
Was not (I wish I could hear)
The way I am. (I wish I could think, I wish I could see, I wish I could be)
I wish I (I wish I could hear, I wish I could think, I wish I could see)
Could be (I wish I could be, I wish I was not, I wish I could be)
Something else (I wish I could hear, I wish I could think)
For you.
