Lyrics

Lit aflame upon the ocean
Lost inside an empty tomb
Where the body is, nobody knows

Walking like an aimless specter
Wandering through a living world
But nobody’s noticed but me
I’m out of my bed but I’m already dead

Please don’t touch me
Don’t tell me
Don’t see me

And I’m trying so hard to be a person again
Is it really so hard just to be?
And I’m trying so hard to be human again
Will I ever be me? Who am I?

Unfamiliar faces surround me like walls
Looking in the mirror I don’t know myself at all
Old familiar places left behind me long ago
Where am I going
Where have I been

Curse my futile indecision
Feel no pain, then what am I?
Throw out all the plastic bottles
I’ll be sane before I die

Has it ever been much better
Has it always been the same?
Sometimes hindsight is through rose-colored lenses

And I’m trying so hard to be a person again
Is it really so hard just to be?
And I’m trying so hard to be human again
Will I ever be me? Who am I?

Unfamiliar faces surround me like walls
Looking in the mirror I don’t know myself at all
Old familiar places left behind me long ago
Where am I going
Where have I been

I don’t know where I’m going
But I’m going
I don’t know where I’m going
But I’m going

I don’t know where I’m going
But I’m going

I don’t know where I’m going
But I’m going

I don’t know where I’m going
But I’m going

I don’t know where I’m going
But I’m going

I don’t know where I’m going
But I’m going

I don’t know where I’m going
But I’m going insane

Ego te baptizo in nomine Patris
et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti

In paradisum deducant te angeli
in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres
et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Jerusalem
Chorus angelorum te suscipiat
et cum Lazaro quondam paupere
æternam habeas requiem
