I've been searching for answers

In other people's faces

Well, now you called me

By another name

As I set sail across the sea of life

Like how it will be in the end

I'm alone with my own life

As I set sail across the sea of life

Like how it will be in the end

I'm alone with my own life

In all the wrong places

I've been searching for answers
