lyrics

I am yet alive again
Empty house, and empty streets and empty me
You don't really know how it feels like to be me
You think you do
But you don't my dear
What it feels like
To be misunderstood
I am identity less

You love my delicacies
But did they even come from me?
It seems like they came from all these other destinations
And I could never call on one that's truly, truly me
All these flavours, all these spices that you taste
Could you really say I'm made out of them

You despise my accent so strange
When you use it everyday
If this accent's really who you say that I am
Along with the mixed language everybody speaks
So why don't you love it when I sing
When I sing with a different cadence

You love me when I bring people together
Variations of colours and beliefs all in harmony
But don't you realise that we exist as separate entities
Don't you see the harmony does not truly prevail
In trying times
We're so much more than this
So much more than all these categorical shit

You sneer at all the values I made
The fear of losing and missing out
You associate me with being inconsiderate
And in your eyes, I'm just another selfish little brat
Everyone is moving so so fast
Try and take a look at what is going on

You love the buildings that I've built
Beautiful and rich and still
All these memories still tied to them are so profound and priceless
But you chose to tear them down
And build new ones
And tear them down
And build new ones
And tear them down
And build new ones
And tear me down
