I Wonder

All alone, the broadening skies
Under thee, every night, I will lie
Scratch and claw and grip the rails
Every day my living hell
Oh God, you know I tried
I know how hard I try
You know I try

Get me out of here
Get me out of here man
Get me out of here

Hey, I'd like to daze away
To a place no one has known
In a state of mind I could call mine
That only I could own
Where I could hum a tune anytime I choose
And then there is no such thing as time
Where I can feel no pain, just calm and sane
What a place for one to find
Now, you see I'm watching everything I do
And they're watching everything I say
Why won't they leave me, leave me, leave, won't leave me be?
Why am I even here?
And I wonder
You leave me wondering
You leave me wondering

Won't you stop watching me
I said, they're watching me, watching me, watching me

Now in my corner, I got the ceiling in my eyes
Arms holding up my knees
And rocking back and forth my life
I didn't mean to feel this way
When I walked into the door, Lord
Then they ripped away my memories
And I can't remember who, who I was before
Now, you see I'm watching everything I do
And they're watching everything I say
Why won't they leave me, leave me, leave, won't leave me be?
Now I only wanted to sixteen and free

And I wonder
