Tonight, I Cannot Go 
I Cannot Go, Tonight 
I Am So Low Of Soul 
My Heart, Can’t Reach Hope’s Height 
 
Or Determined Depth, or Width Of Will 
Or Lunge, Lassitude’s Length 
To Cross The Threshold Of ‘ Try ’ 
I Just Don’t Have The Strength 
 
To Rise From This Misery 
Of Bombardment From Strife 
I Could Not Move This Moment 
Even, If It Meant … My Life 
 
Tonight, I Cannot Go 
I Cannot Go, Tonight 
This Is My Weakest Hour 
I Can’t Put Up A Fight 
 
I Cannot Face Others, Now 
I’ve Lost My Brave Face 
And Even Worse … I Feel Lost 
And, Losing Saving Grace 
 
Tonight, I Cannot Go 
I Cannot Go, Tonight 
My Blank Stare, Is Hard-Pressed 
To Keep Teardrops, From Sight 
 
My Manner Is So Cold 
‘Cause, I’ve Fought Fire, With All My Might 
So, I’m So Tired Now,  
My Eyelids, Are Too Tight 
 
Tonight, I Couldn’t Be Around 
Superficial Company 
I’m Better Off, With A Blanket 
In Front Of My TV 
 
Tonight, I Cannot Go 
I Cannot Go, Tonight 
But, You Go Have A Good Night 
Maybe Tomorrow, I’ll Be Alright 
 
(… Its Midnight … I Cannot Go 
I Cannot Go, Tonight 
I, Am Ready … But Not Quite 
Put Knife Down … Before It Bites … 
 
I Cannot Go, Tonight)
