I'm confused - the comments seem to be about the right song, but the lyrics above are for the song "Soak in the Sin."

here are the proper lyrics: I wonder Lyrics

Album: Blind Melon

All alone in the broadening skies Under the every night I will lie Scratching claw and grip the rails Every day is my living hell

Oh God you know I've tried I know how hard I tried and oh I tried Ooh

Hey I'd like to daze away to a Place like no one has known In a state of mind I could call mine That only I could own

Where I could hum a tune anytime I choose And then there is no such thing as time Where I can feel no pain just calm and sane What a place for one to find

Now you see I'm watching everything I do And they're watching everything I say So they will leave me be Whoa, leave me be Why am I even here?

I wonder You leave me wondering You leave me wondering

Won't you stop watching me I said they're watching me, watching me, watching me

Now in my corner I got the ceiling in my eyes Arms holding up my knees And rocking back and forth my life I didn't mean to feel this way When I walked into the door, Lord

Then they ripped away my memories And I cant remember who I was before. Now they're watching everything I do And they're watching everything I say So they will leave me be Whoa, leave me be

And I only wanted to be 16 And free

And I wonder

my two cents on "I Wonder": Seems like a story about a teenager in a psychiatric facility. He's depressed, but feels victimized by his incarceration, and he can't figure out why he's being punished for thinking and feeling things that simply come naturally to him. He simply tries to keep to himself but the staff are always watching him, examining him for signs that he's either becoming the person that they want him to be, a person that they're molding into their idea of a "sane" person after breaking him down through behavior modification, pschotropic medications and/or electrconvulsive therapy that screws wi/ his self image and recall ability.

All he ever wanted was to be a teenager that was free to deal with his problems in his own way as he grows and develops without being locked away like a rhesus monkey in a research lab.
