I didn't understand
I was obsessed with the turning of time
My condition, my fucked up mind
I lied, I said I was fine
Then the reflection shut my eyes
They looked through me like a some-day suicide
I swear to god I should be taped up and left alone
Fed to the fishes of my soul
I saw an animal with its leg caught in a tree
It was wailing, it was dying
I stared and did nothing
And thought that everything is constantly suffering
And nature in its cruelty is constantly watching
My shattered soul is always fading
Into the air that nature gave me
And becoming a part of the machinery of humanity
I didn’t know who I was
I didn't know where I had been
I didn't know what happened
I didn't understand
Trapped inside, the things I hated I tried to hide
I tried to get away, I went outside
Oh god every knife knew where to cut
Oh my god every feeling knew where to look
Deep down I was lost like I always was
Deep down [You were lost like you've always been]
