I can see mountains

I can see sky

I sometimes wish that I was blind

To all the futures that we left behind

I walk on shaky ground

Nervous I leave the house

In the dark before the dawn

A commuter with no place to run

I wish I could be content with the football scores

I wish I could be content with the daily chores

With my daily worship of the sublime

Last night I was afraid

My head was locked in pain

I thought a person could go mad

No one can help you when it gets this bad

But I thought about your way

I had a picture of your face

I was wishing you the best

Sending you love with every tired breath

I wish I could be content with the football scores

I wish I could be content with my daily chores

With my daily worship of the sublime

When we were very young

We loved our selfish fun

We cared what people thought

About our selfish words

You could not tell us then

How much we wouldn't care

'Bout all the mindless trivia

Now we've got kids and dystopia

I wish I could be content with the football scores

I wish I could be content with my daily chores

With my daily worship of the sublime

I wish I could walk away from my scars and sores

I wish I could walk away from the 'No one gets me'

From my sense of envy

To the benign

I wish I could be content with the football scores

I wish I could be content with my daily chores

With my daily worship of the sublime

I wish I could walk away from my scars and sores
