Lyrics

I'll kick and scream before I try

I resist and protest before attempting

And not remember that I will die

Acknowledging mortality is forgotten

Because I'm happily asleep

In a content slumber, unaware

And I still don't understand

Perplexed while asleep


I think I've met myself before

Sense familiarity with oneself

But I shut my eyes and closed the door

Opt to ignore and shut off introspection

Now all I do is sleep

Engaged in constant sleep

And I still don't understand

Still puzzled while asleep


The trouble is I've lost myself

Conveying the difficulty of losing identity

The trouble is I can't find my way

Struggling to find a direction

I'm standing here and I'm all alone

Isolated and lacking understanding

And what I know I don't understand

The knowledge possessed remains unclear


The trouble is I've lost myself

Reiteration of losing oneself

The trouble is I can't find my way

Continued difficulty in finding a path

I'm standing here and I'm all alone

Loneliness in the search for identity

And what I know I don't understand

Understanding eludes despite knowledge


Many says as he start to smile

Others advise to smile cautiously

You be loud should quite a while cause you

Silence is advised for a prolonged period

As your first and your question last you can

Guidance to prioritize questions wisely

Never find the trust that fast

Trust is not quickly earned

Many says as he start to laugh

Laughter conceals lies between past and future

Lies between the future and the past and he

Deception lies in the temporal space

Ask me why if l knew it along

Pondering why knowing in advance is futile

Waste my time is rightly so

Regret for wasting time is justifiable


Many shout as he start to play

Shouting as a form of expression

You want it all but you never paid

Desire for everything without payment

Now I'm standing here all alone

Isolation in the pursuit of personal sound

Searching for my tone

Seeking a unique identity


I don't know how and I don't know when

Uncertainty about how and when

I saw the path and felt the end

Experiencing a path and its inevitable end

I walked away and did not fight

Choosing to walk away without resistance

And now I see the fading light

Awareness of the diminishing light


And all I have is this one day

Emphasizing the importance of the present

This one moment is the only way

Highlighting the significance of the current moment

But all I do is sleep

Despite this, immersed in constant sleep

And I still don't understand

Perplexed while remaining in slumber


The trouble is I've lost myself

Reiteration of the struggle with self-loss

The trouble is I can't find my way

Persisting difficulty in finding direction

I'm standing here and I'm all alone

Continued solitude in the journey

And what I know I don't understand

Understanding remains elusive


The trouble is I've lost myself

Repetition of the internal conflict

The trouble is I can't find my way

Ongoing struggle to discover a path

I'm standing here and I'm all alone

Persistent isolation and lack of comprehension

And what I know I don't understand

The known remains incomprehensible
