WISH I MAY
losing my love of adventure
losing all respect for me and myself tonite
i wonder what happens
if i get to the end of this tunnel
and there isn't a light
I've worn down the treads
on all of my tires
i've worn through the elbows and the knees of my clothing
and i'm staring down the gravel driveway of desire
trying not to wake up my sleeping self loathing

do you ever have that dream
when you open your mouth
and you try to scream
but you can't make a sound
that's everyday starting now
that's everyday starting now
don't tell me it's gonna be alright
you can't sell me on your optimism tonite
don't tell me it's gonna be alright
you can't sell me on your optimism tonite

it's a stiff competition
to see who can stay up later
the stars or the street lights
and all i really want
is to be alone with the darkness
no more wish i may
no more wish i might
it takes a stiff upper lip
just to hold up my face
i gotta suck it up and savor
the taste of my own behavior
i am spinning with longing
faster than a roulette wheel
this is not who i meant to be
this is not how i meant to feel

do you ever have that dream
when you open your mouth
and you try to scream
but you can't make a sound
that's everyday starting now
that's everyday starting now
don't tell me it's gonna be alright
you can't sell me on your optimism tonite
don't tell me it's gonna be alright
you can't sell me on your optimism tonite

i don't think i am strong enough
to do this much longer
god i wish i was stronger
this song can never be long enough
to express every longing
god i wish it was longer
i don't think i am strong enough
to do this much longer
god i wish i was stronger
thsi song can never be long enough
to express every longing
god i wish i was...
