I Forgot What the World Looks Like

[Verse 1]

I opened the door…

And the world did not fall.

It didn't collapse.

It didn't scream.

It was just there.

The same as before. But...

Completely different.

I forgot how to breathe outside.

I didn't know that rain has a scent…

And that streetlights burn not only for someone else.

[Verse 2]

I walked down the street,

As if it were a dream.

People passed me by,

And I looked at them,

Like beings from another dimension.

Their footsteps had a rhythm.

I walked without time.

I had a phone in my pocket,

But I couldn't remember

What "now" was called.

[Chorus]

I forgot what the world looks like…

When I am not in it.

I forgot what "today" is called,

When no one calls out my name.

And yet, it…

Is still here.

And it doesn't ask,

Where I came from.

[Verse 3]

I was sick.

I was sad.

I was…

Simply absent.

Now I stand beneath a streetlight,

And I look at the reflection of stars in a puddle.

I don't know if it's the rain,

Or a tear,

Or just the world,

That hasn't changed.

[Bridge]

I have no question.

I have no request.

I have no prayer.

Only…

I am here.

And the world…

Does not protest.

[Chorus]

I forgot what the world looks like…

When I am not in it.

I forgot what "today" is called,

When no one calls out my name.

And yet, it…

Is still here.

And it doesn't ask,

Where I came from.

[Outro]

I don't know if I'll go back home.

Or is this already home?

The world…

Did not forget.

It's me…

Who forgot.
