Wish I Was

It turns out my greatest fear
Is being someone that no one cares to hear
Forever doused in silence
Waiting to be lit by the match of fate
I flow through this gray fog of shame
While the red streets call out my name
The name that no one seems to hear
Though they call it out so clear

My mouth is wired shut
My heart is on my sleeve
I think I've said too much
I'm sinking, I can't tread
My mouth is wired shut
My heart is on my sleeve
I think I've said too much
I'm sinking, I can't tread

I'll live with regret
Thinking of ways things could've been
Everything I've said and done
Feels like a path to my own demise

I'll leave my shoes at the door
The shoes I will never fill
I'll leave my heart on this paper
The paper that's never filled
