lyrics

i need to find the reason why i'm here
realize i doubt myself, day-to-day life becomes unclear,
and all the pieces that fit so perfect
angles changes, reach out of range, i'd quit if i had the chance to exit

all my efforts go unnoticed, self-pretentious in desperate need to be
inimmune to all i've experienced before

i need to find the reason why i'm lost
in disillusion, a failure to reach a conclusion
why i tried to keep my feet on the ground
it looks like i faltered, every second seems a bit longer

i don't want to be the same as you
but i can't understand the reason why you let me go
i feel i'm drowning here all by myself
while you've become faceless, you're everyone else.
