Sometimes I'm a Richard, a young heart inflamed
I can't play with the other children when I'm clinging to the pain
Is it your fault or my fault now... or maybe it's no one's fault at all
But this path in a restless valley will soon lead to my fall

Sometimes I'm a Richard, a side in your thorn
Searching for an angel of mercy for all the anger that I've worn
And sometimes I wish that I was dumb so this world would make perfect sense
But I can't blame the weather if I never choose to dance

Please forgive me, I know that I have fallen
Please forgive me, I know that I have failed
I long to know the path from my affliction
This hole in my heart...
This hole in my head...
This hole in my heart...
This hole in my head...
