What Do I Want?

I don’t know what I want
I want something I know I do
I don’t know what it is
I need something I wish I knew

I don’t know what I want
I’ve tried most things the fridge can proffer
The empty bottles line the wall
I know I’m gonna suffer

I don’t know what I want
It’s not as simple as that
Instant gratification was not the cure
It weren’t the answer I was looking for

I don’t know what I want
Like a caged animal I pace the floor
Temples gripped between my palms
Clamp the fuse of this human bomb

I don’t know what I want
I really wish I knew
Sickened by tears of frustration
For an unknown want, need, desperation

I don’t know what I want
Maybe it’s not something
Maybe it is someone - who?
I wish I knew

I don’t know who I want…
