Lyrics
Ignited by the realizing eyes
Realization sparked by observant eyes
Unwrapped around the solitary sound
Enveloped by the unique sound of solitude
A failing voice is railing under walls
A weakened voice protests beneath imposing barriers
Collapsing on the unfamiliar ground
Crumbling on unfamiliar and unstable ground
O, empty heart, am I the only one ?
Questioning if the speaker is the sole one with an empty heart
On pins alone or are we many born ?
Contemplating whether the feeling of isolation is shared by many
Well, either way, you are what you've begun
Acknowledging that one's identity is shaped by their actions
And by the way, I never did you wrong
Asserting innocence, stating no wrongdoing has been committed
Nothing here is guaranteed, nothing's understood
Emphasizing the uncertainty and lack of comprehension in the present
Now that I am far beyond beginning to belong
Expressing a sense of being beyond the initial stages of belonging
Maybe I don't understand the sequence as I should
Admitting a potential lack of understanding in the unfolding sequence
Can't tell left from right from wrong
Describing confusion in distinguishing directions and moral judgments
God from bad from good
Highlighting the challenge of discerning between good and bad
For all you know, for all you made of me
Suggesting that perceptions others have of the speaker may not be accurate
It's hard to keep the skin from tender bone
Facing vulnerability, with nothing to protect against harm
No earthly ties to hang me from on high
No worldly connections to anchor the speaker in difficult times
I wait beneath your overcrowded skies
Waiting under overwhelming and crowded circumstances
Nothing here makes any grade
Asserting a lack of meaningful standards in the current situation
There's nothing I can do
Feeling powerless with no apparent solution
Fed and watered though I was barely half alive
Surviving despite being only partially alive
Time enough to tire me out but now I'm sleeping
Experiencing weariness after enduring enough time
I've lost the sense in sanity
Expressing the loss of reason in the face of madness
Got the bad in good
Acknowledging the coexistence of negative and positive aspects
