Myself

The sun is high
I'm surrounded by sand
For as far
As my eyes can see
I am a stranger to myself
No one knows I'm here
When I looked into my face
It wasn't me there
Nor who I tried to be
I'm thinking ‘bout things
I'd sooner forget
I'm choking to death
On suns that won't set
As all of my pasts
Return to haunt me
I'm not scared of God
Not scared of hell
But I'm scared that I'm myself
How could anyone know me
How could I know myself
