Sometimes I wonder who am I
|
The world seeming to pass me by
|
A younger man now getting old
|
I have to wonder what the rest of life will hold
|
|
I hold a mirror to my face
|
There are some lines that I could trace
|
To memories of loving you
|
A passion that breaks reason in two
|
|
I - I - I have to think and - I have to think and stop me now
|
If reminices make you frown
|
One thinks of what one hoped to be
|
And then faces reality
|
|
I wonder who started all this
|
Was God in love and gave a kiss
|
To someone who later betrayed
|
And God less love sent us away?
|
|
Sometimes I wonder who am I
|
Who made the trees - who made the sky
|
Who made the storms - who made heartbreak?
|
I wonder how much life I can take
|
|
I see at last a future self
|
Were you alive I'd ask your help
|
But thinking puts me in a daze
|
And thinking never helped me anyway
|
|
You always were so negative
|
You never saw the positive
|
You always stand upon the edge
|
And dream of what it must be to be dead
|
|
I know I like to dream a lot
|
And think of other worlds that are not
|
I hate that I need air to breathe
|
I'd like to leave this body - and be free
|
|
You'd like to float like a mystic child
|
You'd like to kiss an angel on the brow
|
You'd love to solve the mistery of live
|
By cutting someone's throat or removing their heart
|
You'd like to see it beat
|
You'd like to hold your eyes
|
And though you know I'm dead
|
You'd like to hold my thighs
|
|
If it's wrong to think on this
|
To hold the dead past - to hold the dead past in your fist
|
Why were we - why were we given memories?
|
Let's lose our minds
|
Be set free!
|
|
Sometimes I wonder who am I
|
The world seeming to pass me by
|
A younger man now getting old
|
I have to wonder what the rest of life will hold
|
|
I wonder
|
I wonder who started all this - ooh
|
Was God in love and gave a kiss
|
To someone who later betrayed
|
And God less love sent us away
|
|
To someone who later betrayed
|
God less love sent us away
|
To someone who later betrayed
|
God less love sent us away...
