I wish I didn’t care, always trying to be the bright one I wish I didn’t care, sometimes I just want to be the fool, Play the fool. I wish I didn’t care bout all the sticks and stones that they throw And I wish I didn’t care, about the real me that I want to show Look at me I’m the one I can’t show you the way, coz the world is so wild and a haunted disgrace You can smile and show them that love is the way, Then someone might care about today, care about today I wish I didn’t care bout all the voices in my head, And I wish I didn’t care, when I asked you to be there And I wish I didn’t care, that world is hurting and bleeding in a state of disrepair I wish I didn’t care bout what I saw on my tv I just imagine I was there, draped in blood of the slaughtered family Too many of us stop and stare at all the tears and wars and sadness And that’s what I find the saddest, too many of us just don’t care.

Why I Run 04:12
Hello darkness my friend Between time and loneliness I’ll spend Forever scarred can’t comprehend So I’ll find the warmth in darkness my friend Why I run Before it’s begun Like the stars fade from the sun Why I run. Break my soul and descend To the depths of darkness from whence I fled Familiar warmth of this cave will defend This tattered heart why won’t you mend? What’s wrong with me, Why can’t I see what you see? What’s wrong with me, Forever helpless endlessly What’s wrong with me, Why can’t I see what you see? What’s wrong with me, why can’t I see?

Take his hand, you have our heart Share our love, as you depart Save for us a golden smile And shine down from above when they walk down the aisle I can’t escape November rain, Can’t stand to face this pain again As dawn fades into night, You’ll guide us with your light Farewell won’t mend the heart, No goodbye is just as hard All these tears they fall in vein , When you can escape November rain Swiftly spread your wings and fly At home now, with angels in the sky We’ll meet again in due time Until then you’re in this heart of mine He is waiting for you in the glowing fields of grain Walk with him now Forever’s waiting for you, life in heaven will remain Your love you have found

And time will be my only friend The ticking clock will hold my hand Forever never felt so long Now that time is my only friend Not you its me like a ghost they haunt me Blind me from your eyes I’m back to my one and lonely Hope did bring my knees to the ground so slowly Bleed from these open tombs only time can fill what’s empty Innocence prevailed but failed me in the end Time to clear your mind but the clock tower did ring this time Guilt pushed me in this place So this is how it feels to fall from Grace

The wind can sweep you up and blow you away I don’t know where I’m landing I fear, I’m scared and I’m saddened That’s this building to define will grow these fears in my mind Don’t lock me away, because I’ll run I won’t stay And I don’t care where you draw the line because I know, my currency is time Grandfather clock my friend can you speed up time And show me the way I’m supposed to know And mother nature can you make the worlds align So I’ll know, if she’ll be mine The overgrowth and vines have blocked the path ahead but not behind So you, can fall back into line The light that guides you is this fear that burns inside So I don’t know if she’ll be mine Why won’t you take my Grace and lead me away? Why won’t you take my Grace and lead me away? Why won’t you take my Grace and lead me away, away? You won’t let me go but hide me away from what hurts I might walk away unless you want to call me as your first Why won’t you take my Grace and lead me away?
