Swirling, whirling round
What is right, what is wrong?
My heart doesn’t know
My mind denies
My breath gasps in
My soul cries.
I wander
Taking in, looking out
Screaming
What is this all about?

How did you know the things
The things that you told
How did you know?
Did someone tell you
Did you hear a voice
Screaming in such a way
You had no choice
Do you know?
Did you feel the feelings
That expressed the words
Even you didn’t know
How do you know
Do you know?
