Socrates said, “The unexamined life is not worth living.”
But I started to examine my life over years, through love, god, and everlasting solitude.
I pray and I pray but there’s never an answer.
Then my inner self finally realizes - no answer is also an answer.
lyrics
In the sky, I couldn’t see the heaven
Cross the line, where we haven’t changed to fit in
And I asked you once again, will you ever be my lover
I’m alright as long as she’s beside me
She’s my faith when I’m hiding behind darkness
Sometimes I get down on my knees
Could we fly away from society
In my life, I just can’t find but I know you'll soon be there
By the way, I just can’t stay coz' I know you’ll hurt me more
I’ve been waiting for so long for someone to call me his name
But I know I’ll still keep waiting far from the end
Coz' the answer is closer than you think
Shed the tears in my divided apartment
Touch me hard, like it’s the very last time
And I’m asking to myself
Would we ever find a place to go?
In my life, I just can’t find but I know you'll soon be there
By the way, I just can’t stay coz' I know you’ll hurt me more
I’ve been searching for so long now my frail heart could barely go on
In my life, I still can’t find
Now I’m broken and bleeding
Jesus Christ, can you show me how
I’ve been lost but not been found
I’ve been searching for so long now my frail heart just couldn’t go on
But I know I’ll still keep waiting far from the end
Coz’ the answer will probably be yes
