I Can't

I can't do anything RIGHT

I'm not able to see what's in front of ME

While I can see all the wonders in front of THEM

They're PERFECT

They're BEAUTIFUL

They're FASCINATING

They're TIRED

They're LOST

They're SAD

And I can't do ANYTHING

I want to demolish those walls in front of them...

But I CAN'T

I want to take them to somewhere safe...

But I CAN'T

I can't help them

Because I can't even help MYSELF

I'm SAD

I'm LOST

I'm TIRED

I want to rip off THEIR masks

I want to show THEM there's hope

I want be there the second THEY are in trouble

But I CAN'T

I want someone to help ME

I want to help MYSELF

I, I, I...

I want a lot of things – but

I can't do anything right
