404 Not Found Myself

Verse 1

I woke up with my phone in my hand
Scrolling for something I never said
Every picture looks like someone else
Living a life I almost had
I keep bookmarks for old intentions
Like I might still click them back
But nothing loads when I go looking
For the person I used to be

Pre-Chorus

I don’t need a restart
I need a reason

Chorus

404 not found myself
I searched my name and hit a wall
Every version that I remember
Isn’t answering the call
I don’t blame the world or someone else
I just don’t know who I am anymore
404 not found myself
Like I never lived here before

Verse 2

I saved drafts I never opened
Left my voice inside unread
I talk about plans in future tense
Like that fixes what I said
There’s a mirror that still says me
But I don’t know how to respond
It’s like I logged out of my own life
And forgot where I was from

Pre-Chorus

I don’t want a new direction
I want connection

Chorus

404 not found myself
Every step just loops me back
I follow all the right instructions
Still fall through the cracks
I don’t need sympathy or help
I just need to feel real
404 not found myself
Like I broke the part that heals

Bridge

If this is what progress is
Then I’m behind on purpose
I don’t want to update who I am
I want to feel like I exist

Final Chorus

404 not found myself
I keep trying to reload
But I don’t know what I’m looking for
When I’m standing in my own shadow
I don’t need a better future
I need a present that works
404 not found myself
I searched the whole world first
