Lyrics: This Wicked Life

THIS WICKED LIFE

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

2016

THIS BURDEN ON MY SHOULDERS

THIS TROUBLE IN MY MIND

IS EATING UP ALL MY PEACE

AND TAKING ALL MY TIME

THERE'S SOMETHING THAT I'VE MISSED 

ONLY I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT IS

I WAS HEADED TO WHERE I WAS GOING

ALL I HAD WAS A BIT OF FAITH 

BUT IF I'D ONLY KNOWN

 I'D GET LEFT OUT IN THE COLD

WONDERING WHAT I'VE DONE

TOO LATE TO TURN AROUND

TOO OLD TO CHANGE

JUST A LITTLE ECCENTRIC

AND SOMEWHAT STRANGE

NEVER SURE IF I SHOULD FOLLOW OR LEAD

I'VE TRIED BOTH AND I CONCEDE

IS IT WORTH IT TO PROCEED

OR THROW MY HANDS UP IN THE AIR

IN DESPAIR AND FADE AWAY

RIGHT WHERE I LAY

IN TIMES OF REFLECTION I RECALL

SOMETIMES THINGS WEREN'T SO BAD AT ALL

THIS WICKED LIFE WILL RUN YOU DOWN

TAKE YOU PLACES YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO BE

IT'S SO HARD, TO KEEP YOURSELF FREE

DOWN ON THE WRONG SIDE

I COULD USE A HAND TO SAVE ME

LIFT ME OUT BE MY WINGS

SHOW ME HOW IT'S DONE AND EVERYTHING

SO WHERE IS THIS HERO

THIS SAVIOR COME CALLING

FOR NOW I'M WAITING, BUT IT'S HARD TO HOLD ON

A MAN IN MY SHOES

CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY TIME

CAUGHT SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LINE

RIGHT BETWEEN THE MOON AND THE BLUES

CONFLICTING VIEWS, I DON'T LIKE TO LOSE

ALL I WANT IS TO GIVE WHAT I'VE GOT LEFT

FOR SOME SAMENESS AND SECURITY

IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FROM ME

ALL I WANT IS SOME PEACE OF MIND

FOR THIS LIFE TO BE A LITTLE KIND

SO WHERE IS THIS HERO

THIS SAVIOR COME CALLING

TIMES RUNNING OUT NO STALLING
