Endless Game to End

[Intro] I cannot see myself Standing before the mirror That’s who I am—right now [Verse 1] I shout at my junior My boss shouts at me I bump into strangers on the street I stumble over stones Yet those bitter “scenes” of me Never appear in the mirror [Chorus] Who am I? What am I? And so it goes, repeating forever This endless game Someone, please tell me the answer [Verse 2] Before the man I love Before the child I cherish Before the teacher I respect Before the friend I adore Even those emotional “scenes” of me Never appear in the mirror [Chorus] Who am I? What am I? And so it goes, repeating forever This endless game Someone, please tell me the answer [Verse 3] Regret always comes later Back at home alone Or when I sit in a quiet café Thinking, I should have done it differently But even those precious “scenes” of me Are forgotten the next time around [Chorus] Who am I? What am I? And so it goes, repeating forever This endless game Someone, please tell me the answer [Bridge] Let me become my own mirror To make the effort, to truly see myself Even Socrates once confessed “I do not know myself” This alone is the supreme wisdom Perhaps, this is knowing ignorance [Narrative Bridge] If I leave it be I get hurt You get hurt So— First, it must begin with me And then, with you [Chorus] Who am I? What am I? And so it goes, repeating forever This endless game Someone, please tell me the answer [Cinematic Spoken Outro] I do not know myself I cannot understand myself And so, I bring an end to infinity— Turning the endless game Into the game that ends
