The things I don't want to do
I just keep doing
The things I want to do
I can't do
What a wretched man I am becoming
What a wretched man I have become
Who will save me?
From this body of death that is looming
From this funeral harlor i keep on seeing
In the corner of my eye while pointing my gun
In the corner of my mind while ignoring the sun
It's coming for me, it's coming for me
What you asked just cannot be done
This mindless heart is what i've become
This weight on my back is just too heavy
The holy life just wasn't for me
I keep smearing my heart all over my sleeve
Someone comes and wipes it off and takes it from me
What's left is hardly mine, just shadow of myself
For i find i'm entwined in a battle over my health
And i can't win, and i can't win
What you asked just cannot be done
This mindless heart is what i've become
This weight on my back was just too heavy
The holy life just wasn't for me
The holy life just wasn't for me
But what you asked just cannot be done
This mindless heart was what i've become
This weight on my back was just too heavy
You say the holy life still waits for me
You say the holy life still waits for me
