lyrics
Sometimes, I see a vision of someone that I don't recognise
Reflections of somebody else that, over time, I grew to despise
The antithetical epitome of everything I long to be
In spite of everything I try, is staring back at me
Sometimes, I hear a voice inside my head that I can't comprehend
Thoughts that sound like mine, but the line between the lie and truth can blend
And everytime they speak, I'm reminded of the deceit that I believed
Wish I could say that I don’t listen, but sometimes I still do.
Sometimes, I wonder why I thought that art could have potential
And when I look around I'm surrounded by those so much better at it all
It's not the fear of being bad, more the fear of being forgettable
Whispers of the only worth you have, streaming in confessional
Sometimes, I think back to those hopeful days of studying at school
My grades were good, I could have been something in life more meaningful
And yet I chose to follow paths paved with ego, yet full of holes
And in a sick and distanced world, what did it matter, after all?
Sometimes, I wish that I could make amends with everyone I've wronged
But there's a shame so great, it paralyses hope beyond all thought
I wish that could say the demons of my past are far behind
But just last night, one of them came to me with a mirror for a face
Sometimes, I wish that I could do something that really mattered
Someone would care, someone would share with me just what life meant to them
Then maybe finally it would validate every failure and mistake
Truthfully, it happens all the time, but the feeling goes as soon as it arrived
Sometimes, I wondered what the point of even living was at all
So I'd find solace in a rêverie of nihilistic thought
"Why should it matter who you are? You're just a grain of sand in a sea of stars!"
I wish that I could say I haven't had those thoughts in a while
But sometimes I still do
