I Wish

I wish, I wish I could recall
All this confinement
When I ‘m lonely

You weren’t the answer
And I’m still me
Flaws dispel myths of being happy

How to be, how to be
Someone from the TV
My life scripted for fantasy

I wish, I wish I could see
The inner lives
Of those who threaten me

Return me in time
To before being Harry
Restless in a cynical eternity

I wish, I wish I could forget
Drink of Lethe again
Until the return journey
But we’re trapped here looping infinitely

I wish, I wish I could recall
All this confinement
When I ‘m lonely
