I wish I were a martyr
a man who had done no harm
stood the silent pains of the world
in a second and was gone
I wish I were a stranger
taking time to linger away
nobody caring, or watching
a young man running astray
I wish I were living
because I've already died
running around in circles
when there is nothing to find
I wish it were raining
and it didn't stop
watching forever, and getting a chance
to count every drop
