Lyrics
I held it all
I possessed everything
In my hands
Literally, in my grasp
To keep it safe
To safeguard it
Peeling back my fingers
Slowly releasing my grip
I saw just sand sinkin'
I witnessed only sand slipping away
Through them
Passing through my fingers
Why can't I be content
Questioning why contentment eludes me
With what I have surrounding
Not satisfied with what surrounds me
There's a light
A consistent illumination exists
Always flashing in my dreams
Perpetually present in my dreams
What I have is what I need but
I possess what's necessary, yet
What I need is clarity
I lack clarity about what I truly require
From whoever's staring back at me
Seeking understanding from my reflection
Pleasure and pain
Both joy and suffering
Often share
Sometimes bear the same identity
The same name
Desire is intimately linked to destiny
And desire is fate's lover
Destiny is merely
And fate is just
Hunger and fear intertwined
Hunger and fear
Why can't I be content
Expressing dissatisfaction again
With what I have surrounding
Not content with the current surroundings
There's a light
A persistent light appears
Always flashing in my dreams
Regularly appears in my dreams
What I have is what I need but
I possess what I require, yet
What I need is clarity
I lack clarity about my true needs
From whoever's staring back at me
Seeking understanding from within
Hear it starting
Noticing its commencement
Feel it matching every breath
Sensing its synchronization with every breath
You start to crave it
The desire for it emerges
Foreign and familiar
Strange yet familiar
Crawling like a
Progressing like a twisting, captivating temptress
Serpentine siren
Enveloping everything desired
Crawling into all that you desire
Hate it, need it
Simultaneously despising and requiring it
Can you even see it,
Questioning perception of it
This time swear it's all
Insisting this time it's everything needed
You needed
Yearning for it, unsure of the desire
Want it, I don't think I want it
Expressing doubt about the desire
