Wish
District Never Sleeps Lyrics

Well you're in control and i know it
You have power over me and I acknowledge it

Cause i'm miserable again
I am unhappy once more

I don't understand how any of this
I am confused by everything happening

Makes me a better man
It improves me as a person

You know i always run to you
I frequently seek your help

For some help with my life
To improve my current situation

You know i always come to you
I consistently rely on you

For a little wise advice
For your knowledgeable guidance

And all i get is pain
The result is always suffering

Okay, so i'm exaggerating
I am making it sound worse than it is

I'm just saying that's how it seems to me
From my perspective, that is how it appears

If all good things come to an end
Eventually positive situations will conclude

Then what about the bad?
What happens to negative circumstances?

Am i cursed to never see the fruits
Will I never experience the benefits

Of the life i wish i had?
Of the existence I desire?

And can i try, one more time
May I attempt once again

To be pleasing to you?
To satisfy your expectations?

My futile efforts never seem
My attempts are always unsuccessful

To make my wish come true
To fulfill my desires

What can i do?
I am uncertain of how to proceed

I'll follow through with all these claims
I will fulfill all my promises

I never cease to make
I constantly commit

A promise to myself
An oath to me

Is one i promise to break
One I will likely not keep

But when i have you by my side
When you are with me

Then i can do what's right
I am capable of making good choices

I'll become the co-pilot
I will assist you in navigation

And you control this flight
You will be in charge of our journey

Then everything will be alright
Then all will be well

This song's for me
This tune was written for myself

A reminder of how i intend my life to be
A recollection of the manner in which I wish to live

Every word i sing
Each lyric I vocalize

Is an anthem against my own hypocrisy?
A ballad criticizing my own double standards?

Let me be free
Allow me to experience liberty
