I Wish I Could - Threshold

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
