How Many Days

Lyrics
How you gonna land what you don't understand
Questioning one's ability to achieve something without understanding it.
How you gonna feel what you know isn't real
Expressing doubt about experiencing emotions that are not genuine.
How you gonna talk when you can walk the walk
Challenging the sincerity of communication without corresponding actions.
How you gonna fight for something that ain't right
Questioning the morality of fighting for a cause that is not just.
How many days, how many days, how many days, how many days
Repetition emphasizing the passage of time and the need for self-reflection.
Will you act so sure living a life, a life that ain't yours
Criticizing living a life that is not authentic and true to oneself.
How many days

How you gonna build what you'r trying to kill
Questioning the construction of something destructive.
How you gonna make what you're trying to break
Challenging the creation of something while simultaneously trying to destroy it.
How you gonna face what you're dying to erase

What good is a path if it's to the wrong place

How many days, how many days, how many days, how many days
