THE QUESTION
Epic atmospheric country, rich acoustic guitars, resonant slide accents, warm banjo textures, deep weathered male vocal, dynamic builds from sparse verses to soaring choruses, spacious reverb, wide cinematic stereo field, steady driving rhythm with organic percussion, haunting yet uplifting southern mood, dramatic swells and layered harmonies for a grand emotional climax. Do not change song at all, keep exactly the same, except for lyrics that have been adjusted.

Lyrics
[instrumental intro]
[verse 1]
Question unsolved
Headware
Glitching
Twitching
Unresolved
Always there
Humming
Buzzing like
Static in the air
Itch you can’t scratch
In the middle of your back
Looming large
Letting me know
Who’s in charge
Quick motion in
My periphery
Noticed but still
Unseen
Everyone
plays along
No one says
A thing!
Calling the shots and
Throwing all the rocks
Thin facade
Slipping
“Enjoy your moments but
You won’t get by me”
[chorus]
The Question
Always there
Unraveling
Everything
Cheapening
Distraction
Numbing
Dumbing us down
We can’t even
Look around
Fear of dying…
I don’t understand
Living
Or even
What it means
To be a man
What is this
Existence
Why will I soon be
Past tense
Why am I able to think
Why does this get
Taken from me
Why am I introduced
To beauty
For my eyes to dim
And not to see
Why can’t I forever hold
My loved ones
Why
Are they pulled from me
So many things
[chorus]
The Question
Always there
Unraveling
Everything
Cheapening
Distraction
Numbing
Dumbing us down
We can’t even
Look around
[verse 2]
Half my life spent
Surviving
Elbows deep in the ugly
Swinging fists at anything
That threatened me
Scared, Frightened,
Small …….. me
Just realizing how
Precious is everything
Beautiful balance
The wonders that await
If only I could see
All these
Undiscovered things
Aaaah aaaaaaah
Ooooh ooooooooooh
[brief instrumental]
[bridge]
To know is to love
To love is to lose
To lose is despair
To cry and scream
And claw at the air
[outro]
Question
Who am I
And
Who cares
[instrumental outro]
