I'm tired
But I don't know where to rest
Or to sit
Just take me

I rowed on my boat
I see the lake of shining waters
I see the beautiful trees
As they dance by the wind's blow

I wondered,
"Is this peace?"
Maybe
"But it'll be over soon."

Maybe, but
Maybe not
You may never know
But, what if...

What if I make it last
Forever?
"How?"
You can if you jumped

".....
That's not how it works."
It does, believe me
"Who are you anyway?"

No answer
"Who are you?
Tell me!
Show yourself."

"......."
Still, no answer
"Maybe I'm just imagining."
No, you aren't

"Then who are you?"
I'm you
"Why?"
Why? Because I'm part of you

"How?"
Conscience, connie you may call
"What are you--no
Who am I?"

That is for you to answer
".......
I... don't know who I am. "
Liar

"I don't know what I am
what I will be now."
Liar
It's all lies

You know who you are
What you are
And why you're here
You haven't discovered it yet

"......
Stop."
I can feel it here
"Stop. "
The reason for your existence

"STOP!
That's your clout of lies!"
Then, who are you?
"... I don't know"

I didn't noticed
The sun has set
And i needed light
Good thing I brought mine

"A GASLIGHT. "
As I lit it up
I felt a fire in me
What is this?

Don't do it
"...."
Don't lit up on fire
"........"

Why am i doing this?
For what?
