And the question is, was I more alive
Then than I am now?
I happily have to disagree
I laugh more often now, I cry more often now
I am more me
But of course some days, I just lie around
And hardly exist
And can't tell apart what I'm eating
From my hand or my wrist
'cause flesh is flesh, flesh as flesh as flesh
The difference is thin
But life has a certain ability of breathing new
life into me
So I breathe it in
It says here we are, and we all are here
And you still can make sense
If you just show up and present an honest face
