Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who am I
Who am I
Who am I
I don't know
See the green walls
Who am I
Who am I
Who am I
Who am I
Who am I
I can't cry
See the dark trees
Who am I
Who am I

I'm so afraid tonight
It's so cold tonight
I'm so sad tonight
I'm so dead tonight

Who am I
Who am I
Who am I
My eyes still burn
Look at the black sea
Who am I
Who am I

I'm so afraid tonight
It's so cold tonight




I'm so sad tonight
I'm so dead tonight
