lyrics

Why Can’t I Remember Who I am?

I wake, I think, I move, I live, I feel, I hear, I question why,
Time waits, for no one,
Life’s race,
Not won, not lost
We never truly live through,
Reality is an empty colorless room,
(Sound! Sound! Sound!)
I don’t exist,
An impalpable limitless conscious piece of electricity,
Trapped in the speed of sound, space in time, divisible by one,
No conclusion,
No resolution,
Lifespan, presence is the revolution, of escape,
One emotion to the next,
We never truly feel,
One emotion to the next,

Why can’t I remember?
Who I am?

Instinctual motion,
Traveling through time,
Never present in specific moments,
Fragments of feelings, thoughts, never processed,
I hear you, I see nothing,
I feel you, you fear nothing,
You tell me I am something,
If we are loved, then why are we suffering?

Why can’t I remember?
Who I am?

Remember… I can’t.

Instinctual motion,
Traveling through time,
Never present in specific moments,
Fragments of feelings, thoughts, never processed,
I hear you, I see nothing,
I feel you, you fear nothing,
You tell me I am something,
If we are loved, then why are we suffering?
