THE QUESTION (STAIRWELL LAMENT)
[instrumental intro] [verse 1] Question unsolved Headware Glitching Twitching Unresolved Always there Humming Buzzing like Static in the air Itch you canβt scratch In the middle of your back Looming large Letting me know Whoβs in charge Quick motion in My periphery Noticed but still Unseen Everyone plays along No one says A thing! Calling the shots and Throwing all the rocks Thin facade Slipping βEnjoy your moments but You wonβt get by meβ [chorus] The Question Always there Unraveling Everything Cheapening Distraction Numbing Dumbing us down We canβt even Look around Fear of dyingβ¦ I donβt understand Living Or even What it means To be a man What is this Existence Why will I soon be Past tense Why am I able to think Why does this get Taken from me Why am I introduced To beauty For my eyes to dim And not to see Why canβt I forever hold My loved ones Why Are they pulled from me So many things [chorus] The Question Always there Unraveling Everything Cheapening Distraction Numbing Dumbing us down We canβt even Look around [verse 2] Half my life spent Surviving Elbows deep in the ugly Swinging fists at anything That threatened me Scared, Frightened, Small β¦β¦.. me Just realizing how Precious is everything Beautiful balance The wonders that await If only I could see All these Undiscovered things Aaaah aaaaaaah Ooooh ooooooooooh [brief instrumental] [bridge] To know is to love To love is to lose To lose is despair To cry and scream And claw at the air [outro] Question Who am I And Who cares [instrumental outro]
