The Trial

I wish that I could be the way I once was

but God's got other plans for me

Some people say the worst is almost over

but I don't see how that could be



When I think too much about it

I can barely breathe

And if I'm still alive 

when the autumn kills the leaves

I guess I'll be what they consider free



They'll say what makes you happy

but I warn you:

This time I'm not gonna listen

It's hard to tell until you look a little closer

Then you can see right through 'em



Every time I think about it

I can barely breathe

And if I'm still alive 

when the autumn kills the leaves

I guess I'll be what they consider free



They'll lead us all to water but I'll bet you

They'd just as soon watch us drown

It never happens how you really want it

So hope someday you'll live it down



When I think too much about it

I can barely breathe

And if I'm still alive 

when the autumn kills the leaves

I guess I'll be what they consider free
