The world is in catastrophe,

And I'm most afraid of who I used to be.

I don't know how you've forgiven me because.

I hate the person that I was,

I fear remembering the pain I've caused,

The work that WICKED gave applause.

Clearly, I was led astray,

How else could I have thought this way?

If I could I'd gladly forget,

The deeds that fill me with regret.

These memories, I'm never miss,

Ignorance is my bliss.

How could anything so wicked ever be good?

I try to make sense of it. I wish that I could.

I look to the future, because I'm sick of the past,

How much longer will this last?

If this is to be the way the world ends,

I'm glad to have weathered it with you, my friends.

As bad as this is my hope isn't gone,

I still have faith that we can move on.

My greatest goal is to protect you,

I'm so sorry for the things I can't undo;

For all that I have put you through.

I will never understand my old view.

(I wish that we could start anew.)

Still, I look to the future because,

I hate the person I once was.
