Lyrics
Verse 1
Since I was small I asked the quiet things,
Why the sky felt wide, why the clock hands sing.
While other kids ran circles in the yard,
I was staring at the light like it was pulling me apart.
No one taught me how to wonder, no one showed me how to see—
But the world kept asking questions
Like it whispered straight to me.
Chorus
I’ve been asking since forever
Who I am and what is real.
I could never just accept it,
Had to touch the way things feel.
There’s a fire in the looking,
There’s a truth behind the veil—
And I’ve been leaning into mystery
Since before I learned to fail.
Verse 2
I remember lying sleepless on the floor,
Trying to find the one who thinks behind the door.
Turning inward like a lantern in my chest,
Trying to catch the part of me that never came to rest.
Mom said I was too serious, Dad said I was too deep—
But my mind kept cracking open
Every time the world fell asleep.
Chorus
I’ve been asking since forever
Who I am and what is real.
I could never just accept it,
Had to touch the way things feel.
There’s a fire in the looking,
There’s a truth behind the veil—
And I’ve been leaning into mystery
Since before I learned to fail.
Bridge
And I tried to live like others,
Wear a name and play a part—
But the questions always whispered
From the backrooms of my heart.
Some nights I’d swear I felt it—
The ground begin to bend—
Like the world was just a story
I was writing with no end.
Verse 3
Now I walk through life much older,
But the child’s still in my eyes.
Every moment breaks a little
’Til the edges lose their lies.
And the self I kept on chasing
Faded right into the air—
Leaving only what is happening,
And the quiet being there.

Final Chorus
I’ve been asking since forever
Who I am and what is real.
And the answer keeps on changing
Every time the light reveals.
There’s a wonder in the seeing,
There’s a letting go of “me”—
And I’ve been built for this unravelling
ever since I was three.
Yeah, I’ve been built for this unravelling
ever since I was three.
