I've never stopped to consider
Why I keep taking this train every morning
Why I'm getting up so early at dawn before everyone else
Why I'm cleaning up my mother's messes for her
Why I'm trying to prove I'm not my father
Why I'm always at home nowadays
I've lost the meaning I used to hold in these rituals
What happened to the kid who used to walk to school
What happened to the boy who used to wake up late every day
What happened to the irresponsible kid with no concern for others
What happened to the child who strived so hard to be his father
What happened to the teen who used to run away from home
I've lost the person I was
The person that once existed
The person I used to like
The person I was proud of
The person that got boasted about
The person others liked
I've become just a lost boy
Who no one knows anymore
