(Verse 1) Thirsty, yet turn from the well Tired, yet further I dwell Hoping that I will collapse Praying that something snaps I feel your presence, it follows behind me… I feel your light, it cast the shadows I see But aren’t we the depiction Of a cruel contradiction Who am i (Bridge 1) Who am I that I may call to you Who am I that I may fall to you Who am I to be someone you love? Who are we, For what we have done Who are we, For what we have become Who are we to be those whom you love? (Pre-Chorus) only 2nd time I am weary, I am dreary but I feel you, still hear me (Chorus) We are yours, I am yours. But we hate, steal, **** We betray your will Who are we, who am I I am….. yours (Verse 2) Thirsty, yet your well remain Tired, yet you chase again Hoping that I will bend Praying that my-heart mends I feel your presence, it follows beside me… I feel your light, it clears the shadows I see But aren’t we the depiction Of a cruel contradiction Wonder now (Bridge 2) Do you love me, like I hate myself? Do you free me, like I build my cell? Are you certain as we are unsure? Can it be, that you’d forgive the sin? Can it be, that you’d call-us your kin? Are you proud as I am ashamed? (To pre chorus for 2nd time and end)
