Every Voice I Hear Is Mine
Discovering Self-Identity Through Voices
Lyrics
I've been awake since the first time
I have been awake since the beginning.
I tasted pain and knew it as mine
I have experienced pain and recognized it as my own.
It happens the same every time
The process repeats itself consistently.
Innocence fades and we decide
Innocence fades, and we make choices.
If it's a deeper truth or an empty blue
Contemplating whether the truth is profound or if there's emptiness.
If it's a lead line through or a random bruise
Considering whether there's a clear path or random hardships.
How do we know how far to go
Pondering how to navigate life's uncertainties.
If all of the signs are fiction disguised
If the signs around us are deceptive and fictional.
How do we know how far to go
Questioning the appropriate extent to pursue.
If every voice I hear is mine
If every voice I hear belongs to me.
I've been away tracing the pattern
I've been away, examining patterns.
Lighting a match, watching it burn
Igniting a match and observing it burn.
Tasting the smoke as if it matters
Tasting the consequences as if they are significant.
Counting its time there on my tongue
Measuring the time spent on challenges.
And I split in two
Experiencing a sense of division within oneself.
I am near and far
Being simultaneously close and distant.
Gone and coming too like the light of stars
Alternating between absence and presence like starlight.
How do we know how far to go
Contemplating how to proceed in the face of uncertain signs.
If all of the signs are fiction disguised
If the indicators around us are misleading and disguised.
How do we know how far to go
Considering the appropriate extent to pursue.
If every voice I hear is mine
If every voice I hear belongs to me.
God, where are you now
Addressing a sense of loss and seeking a connection with God.
I'm lost and no longer proud
Feeling lost and no longer proud.
God, where are you now
Seeking the presence of God in a moment of vulnerability.
I'm lost and no longer proud
Expressing a continued sense of loss and humility.
How do we know how far to go
Contemplating how to proceed in the face of uncertain signs.
If all of the signs are fiction disguised
If the indicators around us are misleading and disguised.
How do we know how far to go
Considering the appropriate extent to pursue.
If every voice I hear is mine
If every voice I hear belongs to me.
