"The Self"
Songwriter: Erik Soriano (Erik Sori)
(Verse 1)
Am I the echo of the past
That just couldn’t last?
Or whispers of futures
That are yet to come?
Either way, I cannot
Win against the enemy of life
We call time…
(Chorus)
How can I find myself
When I am so selfless
An amalgamation
Of moments in life
A potential to be
The greatest version I can be
How do I find the self?
(Verse 2)
I see through a looking glass
As I try to find
All the versions of myself
I could have become
Either way, I cannot
Measure the potential
Of what I never was…
(Chorus)
How can I find myself
When I am so selfless
An amalgamation
Of moments in life
A potential to be
The greatest version I can be
How do I find the self?
(Bridge)
These are the kind of questions
That take up my bandwidth
A cognitive slavery
Of poetic type…
Easy to talk about
But complex to understand
It’s an infinite cycle
Of question marks…
When I think about life
I can’t help but smile…
What’s my reason to live?
Ignorance… truly is bliss…
(Chorus)
How can I find myself
When I am so selfless
An amalgamation
Of moments in life
A potential to be
The greatest version I can be
How do I find the self
