I can run and you will follow
You will trace me here and shape my way
But after all, now I can see
You're not my source, just part of me
One heartbeat all too human, now I sense it to the core
No one's here with whom to share it, so I face it all alone
I tried to seek, but could not find, all my life, and I swear: ceaselessly I tried
Yes, I believed, it made me fly, all my life, but now I feel
I can grieve and you will follow
Why do you befall and torment me?
How should it soothe, now that I see
You're not my source, just part of me?
When I lived without a heart
Without pain, but with my mark
Still this purpose lies in memory
It's buried deep, but still part of me!
Now that I feel it brings a rage to me
Now that I feel it clouds my mind
Senses arouse illogically
Fire in me, fire in me!
Now that I feel, what is the code that once defined me?
Now that I feel, what is my goal, goal, goal?
Nothing for real, you're not the one you're meant to be!
One you're meant to be!
Part of me, just part of me!
I can feel that's why you follow
Not always perishing but even warm sometimes
And after all, now I can see
Though not my source, you're part of me
One heartbeat all too human, now I sense it to the core
No one's here with whom to share it, so I face it all alone
