lyrics

Oh I’m mysteriously
Falling into the abyss
Of all I know and breathe
Those smouldering yellow trees

Been feeling so alone (feeling so alone)
Wondering where’s my home (wondering where’s my home)
They ask me what I know (ask me what I know)
It’s nothing that I can show

Foreign and lost in this world that isn’t mine
Swimming in memories, I’m stuck floating in time
If you’ve got durian eyes, I’m tired of being fetishized
Who am I

People are passing me by
Bitter sound and icy air
Standing here, the shade of the sky changes
I’m living a lie

Was I supposed to belong (was I supposed to belong)
There’s no one in this dark hole (no one in this dark hole)
I’ve been here all along (I’ve been here all along)
Just realizing now it’s wrong (realizing now it’s wrong)

Foreign and lost in this world that isn’t mine
Swimming in memories, I’m stuck floating in time
If you’ve got durian eyes, I’m tired of being fetishized

Who am I x10

Foreign and lost in this world that isn’t mine
Swimming in memories, I’m stuck floating in time
If you’ve got durian eyes, I’m tired of being fetishized
Who am I
