Thinking about control
I have never had a role
I've been meaning to be
Someone to be proud of
But since I cannot see
I have turned myself off

I wish I was more like The First or The Second
Or anyone else who isn't like me, take my word
All people wanted from me was to do what I can
And even that was too much from this broken man

I have dreamt more than once now
I always miss the innocent "Wow."
Seeing wonder for the first time
It's impossible to put into rhyme

I miss becoming the knight of sobriety
Vanishing angels, defending society
I miss the appraisal of my king
But the real one's life does sting
He pretends to give love where he can
But he'd have to stop drinking then
Second of five.
