I don't know
I don't know what to write
I don't know what to do
I don't know what to have
I don't know what to play
I don't know what to bring
I don't know what to listen to
I don't know what to type
I don't know what to open
I don't know what to close
I don't know what to cut, what to sing, what to craft, what to read, what to, what to, what to,
I don't know why I don't know.
