I've been better I haven't been great In so long. I'm tired Of my circumstances Can you see My daily life? I'm stuck in misery Waiting for history Waiting to be away from here, Finding my way back To a place I've been happy.

I wish I could stay, In memory, In that place At your bedside. I could live eternal Watching old shows At your side Never leaving you. I could live forever Close to you As you told stories From your life 

The dust arose across the plains Everyone strains to see the future days, I'm watching on my own These events unfold Like a bad fairy tale told From water damaged books To whoever will hear These stories foretold, I've seen the days gone In my memory in my mind Lost to change and The tearing apart of my life By those with power over me.

This song started so well But I could tell From the start It was doomed to fail Just another tale Told so often You already know The ending before The first words Are sung.

Stars dot my eyes Night sky in view Waiting for answers to my prayer As time pulls me along alone on this path. I have nothing I had before, Starting over again I find it difficult to do anything But I keep waking up I keep going forward With each day filled with uncertainty.

He stood alone in the shadows of The enemy towering above Turned this country into misery, A hero arrives to fight the corrupt Take back what was never perfect But at least it was better than this Orange mess we find ourselves in 2026.
