Always There

Old as I am

Mean as I am

Wise as I am

It is always there

Tried to run

Tried to hide

But it is always there

It’s like its one step ahead

Always knows all my moves

Tried to change it

Tried to mute it

It kept on

I fear what it fears

I hear what it hears

It feels like a stain

That never seems clear

Been reading about you

And how you can change

It seems it's up to me to figure the way

I know you can hear me

I know you are near

I know that you are ready to

Give me the wheel

Please give me the wheel
