Lyrics
Oh mother, oh Father
Expressing distress or concern, addressing parents
What's going on with our sons and our daughters
Questioning the state of their children
What's that in the air, something's in the water
Sensing something wrong in the environment
I can tell
Perceiving a disturbance in the world
This world is a nuisance
Describing the world as troublesome
All these eyes look upon me so ruthless
Feeling judged by others
I'm just trying to find where the groove went
Searching for a sense of normalcy
To stay alive, oh
Desiring survival in challenging circumstances
I've been running in circles
Feeling trapped in repetitive patterns
I can't sleep, and when I do
Experiencing insomnia and troubled sleep
It's a nightmare, and I
Describing life as a nightmare
Wake up with hope that you might care
Hoping for empathy or care
Oh, where were you
Questioning the absence of support
When I was sinking and crying for help
Recalling a moment of vulnerability
I'm trying to yell, but I'm dying as well
Struggling to communicate pain
So why even put up a fight
Questioning the purpose of resistance
They only love me when I dance with a smile
Noticing conditional love when appearing happy
I put on this mask as I'm living in denial
Wearing a metaphorical mask to deny true feelings
These bodies going viral but end up in the same ground
Reflecting on the transience of fame and life
As this wretched blue planet I stand on right now
Comparing life to a troubled planet
It's a mess out there
Expressing the chaos of the world
I don't wanna be alone, can't second guess out there
Fearing isolation and uncertainty
One second, flip the phone, everybody's stressed out there
Observing widespread stress
I'm just another passerby
Feeling like an insignificant observer
Sick and tired always asking why, asking why, asking why
Questioning the reasons for suffering
I've been running in circles
Continuing the cycle of confusion
I can't sleep, and when I do
Struggling with sleep and its nightmares
It's a nightmare, and I
Describing the persistent nightmare
Wake up with hope that you might care
Hoping for caring and understanding upon waking
Oh, where were you
Questioning the absence of support
When I was sinking and crying for help
Recalling a moment of vulnerability
I'm trying to yell, but I'm dying as well
Struggling to communicate pain
So why even put up a fight
Questioning the purpose of resistance
Oh mother, oh Father
Repeating the distress, addressing parents again
What's going on with our sons and our daughters
Expressing concern about the state of their children
What's that in the air, something's in the water
Sensing something wrong in the environment
I can tell
Perceiving a disturbance in the world
This world is a nuisance
Describing the world as troublesome
All these eyes look upon me so ruthless
Feeling judged by others
I'm just trying to find where the groove went
Searching for a sense of normalcy
To stay alive, oh
Desiring survival in challenging circumstances
I've been running in circles
Continuing the cycle of confusion
I can't sleep, and when I do
Struggling with sleep and its nightmares
It's a nightmare, and I
Describing the persistent nightmare
Wake up with hope that you might care
Hoping for caring and understanding upon waking
Oh, where were you
Questioning the absence of support
When I was sinking and crying for help
Recalling a moment of vulnerability
I'm trying to yell, but I'm dying as well
Struggling to communicate pain
So why even put up a fight
Questioning the purpose of resistance
Where were you
Repeating the question about support
Dying, why
Expressing frustration with the struggle
