I’m Wrong

Only once in a while do the pages turn
Holy ghost wasting grace that I haven't earned
My soul explodes and melts away and now my will is gone
I wanted space from all that things that find me in the dark
I wanna be old and frail and happy when my time has come
But I don't get what I want – oh no I don't

I go the wrong way
In the fire with Novocain
I don't run anymore
From the wrong I've done
I love a dark place
Like I'm trying to seal my fate
I don't need anyone
To feel the wrong I've done

All that I want is someone dear to me to lie and hide the words that hurt
What fools believe we ever get the life that we deserve
I wanna be told "You are the earth, the sky, the sun above"
I don't get what I want – oh no I don't

I go the wrong way
In the fire with Novocain
I don't run anymore
From the wrong I've done
I love a dark place
Like I'm trying to seal my fate
I don't need anyone
To feel the wrong I've done

What makes you think you reached a mountain?
What killed your spirit for as long as you remember?
I'm close enough to you all to save some space in my heart
But I think I waited too long

Only once in a while do the pages turn
I never get what I want – we never get what we want

I go the wrong way
In the fire with Novocain
I don't run anymore
From the wrong I've done
I love a dark place
Like I'm trying to seal my fate
I don't need anyone
To feel the wrong I've done
