Sometimes, we feel things that cannot be explained, let alone justified.
Sometimes, we choose to portray ourselves as vibrant, whimsical characters,
because that is the only way we know how to get by.
Sometimes, we get lost...
behind this colourful mask,
within this churning sea of inexplicable emotion.
Sometimes, we lose ourselves.
Sometimes, you have to get lost, before you can be discovered.

Sometimes, we lose ourselves.
Sometimes, you have to get lost, before you can be discovered.
