Cause
Dr. No Lyrics

I staggered slowly from the darkness
After enduring a long period of hardship and difficulty, I finally emerged into the light

For the first time I could see
Upon escaping the darkness, I gained a newfound clarity and understanding

Three years spent thinking that
I dedicated three years of my life believing

It wasn't meant for me
That the circumstances or opportunities I desired were not intended for me

You don't know me if you think that
You have a lack of understanding about who I truly am if you believe

All you see is all I am
That my outward appearance or actions define the entirety of my being

Three cheers for nothingness
I sarcastically celebrate the emptiness and lack of fulfillment I have received

It's all you gave to me
Because what you have given me is nothingness, devoid of meaning or purpose

Why is everyone around me fucking miserable?
I am perplexed as to why the people in my life are constantly unhappy

It doesn't make sense to me
Their perpetual misery is illogical and incomprehensible to my understanding

Either everybody's blind or invisible
Perhaps, either everyone is oblivious or they deliberately choose to remain unseen

I'll guess I'll just wait and see
I will adopt a patient attitude and observe how events unfold

You're pretending like you know it all
You are falsely presenting yourself as having complete knowledge and understanding

And I should be wanting more
According to your perspective, I am expected to desire greater things or aspirations

Instead I'm spending mine defending yours
However, I find myself using my own resources to protect and support your interests

While you claim it's all my fault
Simultaneously, you assert that the blame for our difficulties rests solely on my shoulders

Fighting loneliness and sadness
Engaging in an ongoing battle against feelings of isolation and unhappiness

Like a shadow chasing you
Similar to a persistent shadow that follows you wherever you go

Three tears, all colourless
I have shed three tears, each lacking any semblance of vibrant emotion or significance

I can see straight through
My perception enables me to easily detect the true nature of situations and individuals

And yet you tell me I'm still young
Despite my insights and experiences, you undermine them by asserting that I am still naive and inexperienced

And I can't know of what I speak
According to your perspective, I lack the knowledge and understanding to discuss these matters accurately

Your fear of nothingness it's clear as day to me
Your evident anxiety and apprehension towards emptiness and lack of purpose is unmistakable to my perception

Everyone around me's fucking miserable
I observe that every individual in my vicinity is severely discontented

Either everybody's blind or invisible
Once again, I question whether individuals are either unaware or intentionally choosing to remain unseen

I'll guess I'll just wait and see
I will exercise patience and adopt a wait-and-see approach in order to gain further clarity

You're pretending like you know it all
Similar to before, you continue to put on a facade of absolute knowledge and understanding

And I should be wanting more
I am expected to desire greater things and aspirations, according to your viewpoint

Instead I'm spending mine defending yours
However, I find myself utilizing my own resources to protect and support your interests, once again

While you claim it's all my fault
Simultaneously, you persistently attribute the blame for our difficulties solely to me

I stagger slowly through the darkness
Once again, I navigate through the darkness in a slow and unsteady manner

For the first time I can see
But now, after enduring further challenges, I have gained an enhanced sense of perception and understanding

You don't know me if you think that
If you believe that I am the failure you perceive me to be, then you truly lack understanding of who I am

I'm the failure that you seem to believe
This false perception of me as a failure is an inaccurate belief that you hold

You're pretending like you know it all
Once again, you continue to present yourself as possessing complete knowledge and understanding

And I should be wanting more
I am expected to desire greater things and aspirations, according to your viewpoint

Instead I'm spending mine defending yours
Once again, I find myself utilizing my own resources to protect and support your interests

While you claim it's all my fault
As always, you shift the blame for our difficulties entirely onto me
