Lost feelings return
So now maybe I can learn
To stop the world of a lie this time around

Are we are we are we ourselves?
Are we are we are we ourselves?

Because seen through these eyes
We lead a double life
No one would know so check it out
Stepping out, here I go

Are we are we are we ourselves?
Are we ourselves and do we really know?

So they say, so they say, that to this earth we are bound
Most spirit returns and now maybe we've learned
To stop this whirl of a lie
To this earth we are bound
I ask you
Are we are we are we ourselves?
Are we ourselves, and do we really know?
