Old Noisy Friend
Yearning and thirsty
Looking back
Shameful and sorry
For all the lies I’ve once believed
Those days are gone, I know
But still I’m lost, dreadful and bitter
I always thought, prideful but young
I’ll never need love or anyone
Now by myself, I bite my tongue
For all the pain that I have done
I’m some old noisy friend
I wish I was somebody else,
I wish I was somebody else,
I just need some sleep, some room to breathe
Do I wish every sins forgiven now
Those days are gone, I know
But still I’m lost, shameful and bitter
Fallen from grace, I’m Babylon
On my knees and outnumbered
I always thought, prideful but young
I’ll never need love or anyone
Now by myself, I bite my tongue
For all the joy I’ve left undone
I’m some old noisy friend
I wish I was somebody else,
I wish I was somebody else,
I just need some sleep, some room to breathe
Do I wish every sins forgiven now
Do I wish, do I wish forgiven now
I pray for peace to be revealed
For my fearful heart to be set free
From His peace I could be healed
I’m on my knees…
For my fearful heart to be set free
Must believe, must believe
Those days are gone I know,
But still I’m lost, shameful and bitter
For all the tears I’ve fed my soul
On my knees, faded whisper
I wish I was
I wish I was
I wish I was
Somebody else
For enemies who called me brother
And left me on my knees
For every time I failed myself
On my knees, on my knees
For accusers dressed as lovers
Who got me on my knees
For every time I betrayed my vows
On my knees, on my knees
Those days are gone I must believe
On my knees, on my knees
The past is gone I must believe
On my knees, on my knees
For every time I ask myself, for every time I pray to be somebody else
For every time I told myself, for every time I wish I was somebody else
For every time I told myself, for every time I wish I was somebody else
For every time I failed myself, for every time I disavowed myself
For every time I wish to be somebody else, somebody else
For every time, for every time I wish and I pray
And to be… and to be…
For every time I pray, I thought, I wish, I could
So many questions, so many illusions, make believe
For every time I thought I should
For every time I wish I could be somebody else
Somebody else
Somebody else
Somebody else
Those days are gone I must believe
