Lyrics

I’m sitting in front of these

I am currently facing these

Blank pages again,

Once again, I confront blank pages

Can I find the words to etch these thoughts?

Can I discover the words to engrave these thoughts?


I live day to day,

I navigate through life on a daily basis

Trying to be better to myself

Striving to treat myself better

But only now I’ve realised

Realizing only now


I’m only really good with you

I excel primarily when I am with you

When I hate myself

During times when I dislike myself

Will I find my way out of this drought?

Will I discover an escape from this dry spell?


If you won’t love me,

If your love is absent

I’ll find ways to love myself

I will find ways to love myself

I’m dancing on a sinking ship

I am engaging in a precarious situation


Am I all that I can be?

Am I reaching my full potential?

Or am I only the voice in my head

Or am I merely the inner voice in my mind?

I don’t know if I can breathe

Uncertain if I can endure

In this skin that’s not made for me

In this skin not designed for me


Throwing paper into an ashen furnace

Discarding paper into a burning furnace

Hoping that some distant god will hear me

Hoping some distant deity will heed my pleas


Am I singing to a silent stone?

Am I singing to an unresponsive stone?

Or am I calling to an empty echo?

Or am I shouting into an empty echo?


If you won’t love me,

If your love is absent

I’ll find ways to love myself

I will find ways to love myself

I’m dancing on a sinking ship

I am engaging in a precarious situation


Am I all that I can be?

Am I reaching my full potential?

Or am I only the voice in my head

Or am I merely the inner voice in my mind?

I don’t know if I can breathe

Uncertain if I can endure

In this skin that’s not made for me

In this skin not designed for me


Tell me now or tell me later,

Tell me now or tell me later

Doesn’t matter anyway

It doesn't make a difference in any case

Nothing burns when there’s no air

Nothing hurts when there is no air


Tell me now or tell me later,

Tell me now or tell me later

Doesn’t really matter anyway

It doesn't matter anyway

I’d rather drown than beg you to be fair

I would prefer to drown than plead for fairness from you
