Wretched Man

[Verse] 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 parlor 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 [Chorus] What you ask just cannot be done A spineless heart is what I've become This weight on my back is just too heavy The holy life just wasn't for me [Verse] 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, but just a 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 [Chorus] What you ask just cannot be done A spineless 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 [Outro] But what you asked just cannot be done A spineless heart was what I've become This weight on my back was just too heavy You say a holy life still waits for me You say a holy life still waits for me
