[Verse 1] (Everybody struggles for the answer) But what's the question though? He paced around in his own self doubt Twenty-two years deep and he's still unsure Life's his hospital: twenty-one floors, plenty of sores One disease free, only less than one cure Once chance to, seek out why we're all ants A huge planet of stanzas on rhythm to dance to He fought depression like cancer, in a maze of chancellors (Everybody struggles for the answer) Inside a skyrise, he's tries to buy time But needs to find why, his paths are a mile wide He knows, the doctor says terminal A life sentence, of life, mankind meets vertigo It's a personal quest, searching for depth Most people die before seeing the light But not him though, he's gonna find the solvent Once and for all know why our lives are one big problem His wife called him, speaking kinda random Didn't see the problems, didn't understand them She said he held her love for ransom So in return, he would learn, when she took away his damn son His quest overtook his family life Playing with a light, he ain't understand how bright If it's bright enough to make a man miss his own reflection He's trying to find the answer before he knows the question [Hook] One day you'll see we're born so free, it's hard to know And I hope that when the smoke has cleared, that you'll know where to go But you must be sure that first the question you can understand cause One thing's for sure... (Everybody struggles for the answer) [Verse 2] She paced around in her own self doubt Twenty-six years deep and she's still confused Two kids, bruised ribs, too beat to move The dark clouds come down whenever he's on booze Strong chain, daddy used to do the same thing Beating momma down while she cried in the rain She fought depression like cancer, in a maze of chancellors (Everybody struggles for the answer) Inside she cried, "why?", and tried to fly by The fact, her jaw cracked and eyes look tie dyed She knows, but swims in denial She takes his force with a smile, just like when she was a child It's a personal quest, searching for depth Most people die before seeing the light But not her though, she's gonna find a solvent Once and for all know why our lives are one big problem Her mom called her, speaking kinda random Said that she should leave him, said she couldn't stand him She said that he was in a trance, and that She couldn't see abuse put on her daughter and her grandsons She'd be k**ed by his hands that night Thinking it was her fault or a path in life She was blind enough to not see the worth in her reflection Hiding from the answer and frightened of the question [Hook]
