life didn't turn out the way i thought it would
not in denial, lost the lamplight that will take me there
soon i'll be accused of trying something new
and when i'm on trial, i know these charges won't stick

look, i've lost my way
and ninety-nine didn't stray
will you come for me,
will you beat the wolves to me again
so close, so close,
please don't let it go let it go
wishes soon forgotten,
never have i seen with such clarity

tear down all your preconceptions of me
as I shed these tears of joy for this misery
