Lyrics
Every time the feeling comes
Experiencing a recurring emotion or sensation
You never question why
Acceptance without questioning the origin
It comes to you this way
The feeling manifests spontaneously
You say you never get an answer that way
No clear answers obtained, but curiosity persists
But then you wonder anyway
Doubt arises despite not actively contemplating
Just you don't really think about it
Little conscious thought about the feeling
And you don't really try to figure it out, out
No active attempt to analyze or understand
Night after night
Repetition of the feeling during the night and day
Day after day
The recurring thought surfaces regularly
The thought rises
The thought persists and intrudes on consciousness
And you chase it away
Attempting to dismiss or ignore the thought
But you know you can never get away that easy
Acknowledging the difficulty of escaping the feeling
And you wonder why
Questioning the persistence of the emotion
It comes to you
The feeling comes to the individual
But you know that's harder to say
Admitting the challenge in expressing the feeling
But you know it feels bad
Acknowledging the unpleasantness of the emotion
To feel like a space case
Feeling detached and out of place
Like a loser in a meaningless place
Feeling like a failure in a purposeless environment
Oh I can't tell what's worse
Contemplating the difficulty in determining what's worse
The meaninglessness
Considering the emptiness of life
Or the negative meaning
Weighing the negative connotations of the feeling
I figured out a way to get on with my life
Discovering a coping mechanism to move forward
And to keep on dreaming
Maintaining the ability to dream despite challenges
Every time the feeling comes
Reiteration of the cyclical nature of the feeling
You never question why
Reaffirming acceptance without questioning
It comes to you this way
The feeling recurs in a familiar manner
You say you never get an answer that way
No clear answers obtained, yet curiosity persists
But then you wonder anyway
Doubt arises despite not actively contemplating
Just you don't really think about it
Little conscious thought about the feeling
And you don't really try to figure it out, out
No active attempt to analyze or understand
Night after night
Repetition of the feeling during the night and day
Day after day
The recurring thought surfaces regularly
The thought rises
The thought persists and intrudes on consciousness
You chase it away
Attempting to dismiss or ignore the thought
But you know you can never get away that easy
Acknowledging the difficulty of escaping the feeling
And you wonder why
Questioning the persistence of the emotion
It comes to you
The feeling comes to the individual
But you know that's harder to say
Admitting the challenge in expressing the feeling
But you know it feels bad
Acknowledging the unpleasantness of the emotion
To feel like a space case
Feeling detached and out of place
Like a loser in a meaningless place
Feeling like a failure in a purposeless environment
Oh I can't tell what's worse
Contemplating the difficulty in determining what's worse
The meaninglessness
Considering the emptiness of life
Or the negative meaning
Weighing the negative connotations of the feeling
I figured out a way to get on with my life
Discovering a coping mechanism to move forward
And to keep on dreaming
Maintaining the ability to dream despite challenges
