I still remember when it started How do we fall asleep? Unanswered, it kept me awake Am I a series of reactions? A constant domino effect from the big bang Nothing lost Nothing gained Everything changes Or have I been perverting my essence since birth With every action I regret? Is true self a labyrinthine course towards my metaphoric heart Or rather the whole of my destiny's design? Or is the whole of myself a quest to balance these states? Therefore, I'd be a quandary A state of perplexity or doubt But did an enigma lay dormant until unearthed Or did the question create the state? Crudely said: Is it my fault? If the answer is that there is no answer And the question will not die, what then? How do they pass through life with (or without) these questions? If it would, at least, block my reasoning at myself For if I do not understand my mind What is it worth trying to figure out the world? Why do I still try? And finally, I question the very basis of the crisis Is this a lucid state? And what if it's all genetic?... Depression passed down, wires shorted out Predisposed to think? Predisposed to be sick? Seems like this is the deepest it goes... My own body, which I cannot trust So no reasoning possible I'm forever blocked at my first step... And sometimes I'd rather stumble like the blind The final level of questioning Self-doubt leads to nihilism No knowledge will ever be gained But with silence comes questions Unanswered, they keep me awake...
