So you  wake up in the morning 
What is the first thing that you say?
If I know anything about you 
It’s probably who you’ll be today?

A mystery to me, and everyone else 
Are you with me? or really are you in it for yourself?

And back and forth you change your mindset
And now I don’t know what to do
I feel like all I know is your name 
But even that was given to you

I’m looking at you and you’re thinking
What do you stand to gain from this? 
Can’t get a read on you I’m failing 
Can’t pull myself from your abyss 

A box to unlock, or leave it where it lay?
Will I know who you are? I hope I see the day

Back and forth you change your mindset
And now I don’t know what to do
I feel like all I know is your name 
But even that was given to you
