If I only Could

I'm living in the shadows of doubt

While this blind world dances about

Sometimes I want to scream and shout 

Why is it the evil ones have all the clout? 

And I would if I only could,

There you are looking in the mirror at you

Wondering why your life is askew

Think that you're one of the few

From this thirty thousand foot view

But your self-destruction seems right on cue, 

And you do hey, hey, hey, and you do

Heroin needles in the grass better wear shoes

Drug dealers on the corners two by two,

Give me some more Norwegian wood 

Cruising through the hood

It's all insane but understood

As the evil victimize the good 

And I would if I only could,

They want to turn the US into a banana republic

Revert Americans back to burning sticks

Men converted into chicks

These are the new perverted kicks,

Just give me something to hang onto

I’ll start with the truth and a sky of blue

I can’t believe that I ever trusted you

Always a fool for love when I thought it was true,

And I would if I only could,

All the heart ache that I’ve withstood

Doing things I never should

Thinking it might just work out for good

Seems too often it fails and that’s understood,

I’ve heard it’s all a simulation before

If this is true you got to give me more

I can’t live on some kind of folklore

God, please let me in on the score,

If I were you, I would if I only could.
