Lyrics:
I should have known I can’t hide the pain
It’s unavoidable, what a shame
Confused and scared, where do we go from here?
My sense of self rapidly collapses
No longer grounded time elapses
It’s uncontrollable
But did I ever have a say?
Smothering, I’m smothering
I don’t know what to do
I’m losing my grip
Knowing I’ve lived a lie
Knowing I’ve lived a lie
To see
Is to fear
Troubled eyes
Wander through thoughts
It unwinds
Now it’s clear
I was never meant to be here
Who is this which stands before me now?
An image of a man who once was
It ripples, waves now violent, they disrupt,
It echoes a sentiment long lost
Who are you?
Who are you?
Have you found out yet?
Will the answer ever satisfy?
So now I’m left out, roaming through here
Not a single fibril, a single shred of hope
So empty, this space I’ve learned to fear
The silence becomes deafening
Smothering, I’m smothering
I don’t know what to do
I’m losing my grip
Knowing I’ve lived a lie
Knowing I’ve lived a lie
To see
Is to fear
Troubled eyes
Wander through thoughts
It unwinds
Now it’s clear
I was never meant to be here
