Uncomfortable inside There's something wrong For the first time, I saw myself I asked the question, "Who are you?" Wake up I wake up, in this unfamiliar moment Where am I? Who am I? Awaken, tears are falling Who have I been all this time? As if struck by lightning A thrill surged through my whole body One by one, unfamiliar feelings passed by I hadn't known them all this time I am me, I am me, I am me I am me, so what's the problem? This can't go on, it can't go on like this What is this? Who are you? Wherever I go, you just keep hiding, ey Even when I follow, you run away faster, what I don't know how to untangle this discomfort Confusion only grows into more confusion I realize that I don't seem to be myself The chaos inside me wakes me up The times when I lived without any thought Now scare me, a voice echoes in my head Wake up I wake up, in this unfamiliar moment Where am I? Who am I? Awaken, tears are falling Who have I been all this time? Oh I'm not myself Oh I have to wake up Awaken, tears are falling Who have I been all this time? Even if I cover my eyes, and can't see anything The fact that I'm awake Scares me even more, uh The worry of "Who am I?" keeps growing Like a virus On the path I used to walk alone, fear Urges me to save myself Woo I'm getting tired of living the same life every day Woo with the same mindset every day It was only exhausting and frustrating I prayed earnestly Wishing and hoping to awaken For someone to hold my hand The times when I lived without any thought Now scare me, a voice echoes in my head Wake up I wake up, in this unfamiliar moment Where am I? Who am I? Awaken, tears are falling Who have I been all this time? Oh I'm not myself Oh I have to wake up Awaken, tears are falling Who have I been all this time? Day by day, I grow more afraid Someone, please answer me I wake up, open my eyes, and feel A dizzy feeling deep inside my head Day by day, I grow more afraid Someone, please answer me My answers are always full of doubts What's the point of talking when there's no answer? Even when I wake up and look at myself again I have nothing to say to the same old answers every day Wake up Oh I'm not myself Oh I have to wake up Awaken, tears are falling Who have I been all this time? Oh I'm not myself Oh I have to wake up Awaken, tears are falling Who have I been all this time? Wake up
