lyrics

Who am I?
I don't know
I'm often too afraid to ask
but it's such a simple question.

To think an animal could look inside and
figure itself out.
Is it even worth the asking?

So what am I to forfeit now
that I feel so insincere?
Is it just how I perceive it?
Could I offer you a blessing?
To escape this awful message
that my name's not who I am.


Can I leave behind what I think I've done wrong?
Can I cease to judge the criticized before me?
Am I wrong to feel the way I think I feel?
Or is it just a faulty feeling for this song?


If I'm honest with myself,
I was born without a name,
or even a guilty conscience.

But how can I know that for sure
if I'm constantly alarmed?
and bombarded with a message,
telling me to go to heaven
telling me to see the light,
that I'm wrong to feel this way.


Can I leave behind what I think I've done wrong?
Can I cease to judge the criticized before me?
Am I wrong to feel the way I think I feel?
Is there anybody else who I could be?


For myself, For myself
I could see, I could see
I could see for certain.

I would be so uncertain,
were you not so apparent.
I could believe my lies,
were you not built inherent.

I, I could see
If I could see
If I could see for certain.

Just one
look at yourself,
and you'd see what
you've been running from.

Run!
