I & I (Me, Myself, and I) Lyrics

I remember a time in my life

Where I didn't feel much of anything

Or like I was anything

So I just wanted to tell y'all a little story

When I felt like this

If you know what that guitar feels like

Then you know

Come on, sing along

If you ever felt like you're nothing

If you wanna feel like you're something

If you wanna break free

From the casing you're making

Your hands have been aching

You have trouble waking

You feel the earth shaking

You try to escape

A Caterpillar trying to break the pillars

End up a killer or on the painkillers

And I had just wanted to bloom like a lily

The king of my city, not cities I'm in

But the city I craft

Get to the aft cause I'm under attack

I'm missing my life raft

God dammit

This isn't how I die

This can't be how I die

So I float and I'm carried away

No, this is important

You got to listen

And through the adventure of losing my life

Floating for days holding onto my knife

I wondered if I should just use it and die

I wondered if life was worth giving a try

To survive in the days

In the weeks that I thought

I had fought with myself

I landed on islands so timid so quiet

And there I met a person

I thought my condition gad worsened

Because I could not even make out a human

They spoke to me, and with a call to me

I was drawn to thee

They told me a version of human creation

One rife with orphans and hatred left dormant

One with perversions and forced in submersions

Coercion, extortion beat down to submission

A vision they gave me that cleared up my eyes

And I found there were three

I look in the water

What's happening to me

I know that I'm there, but I'm not easy to see

I don't know myself

My vision is fogged, I collapse

And I wake up again with the same fuckin issue

But this time I know not to question

And realize, that that reflection was me

So if you've been feeling like you're nothing

Listen to me, cause your life

Is worth something

You feel like nothing

But, they understood

Aw shit, I forgot to end my story

So my vision cleared

And I didn't fight it

And I heard a voice

And it called to me

So I followed it

It was plain to see

That there was no one

Just me, myself, and I
