Lyrics for Wish

This is the first day of my last days I built it up, now I take it apart Climbed up real high, now fall down real far No need for me to stay The last thing left, I just threw it away I put my faith in God and my trust in you Now there's nothing more fucked up I could do Wish there was something real Wish there was something true Wish there was something real In this world full of you I'm the one without a soul I'm the one with this big fucking hole No new tale to tell Twenty-six years, on my way to Hell Gotta listen to your big time Hardline, bad luck, fist fuck Well don't think you're having all the fun You know me, I hate everyone Wish there was something real Wish there was something true Wish there was something real In this world full of you (I want to but I can't turn back) (But I want to) Wish there was something real Wish there was something true Wish there was something real In this world full of you Wish there was something real Wish there was something true Wish there was something real In this world full of you This world full of you This world full of you This world full
