Tell me why I stay up late
Try'n to write a song
That everyone relates too
One will be out soon
This hard to do
When you look at you clock
And it's 1:32 still nothing true
Tell me why I get called untrue
I work for this life
Don't do drugs
And do everything right
Then i give up some nights
Can't talk about it
Cause they laugh and say yea right
Tell me why I stay out of light
Out of sight
Out of mind
This is how live my life
Hiding from that sunlight
Can't wait to say good night
Ready to see the moonlight
Tell me why I chase the search light
Arriving on the work site
Like a little termite
Don't wanna fight
But I give them an invite
And they ignite bright
Telling everyone I'm alright
Tell me why blackness surrounds me
Sick of the sadness
People say don't panic
But my eyes have blacken
Laying on my mattress
What's my status
Have I vanished?
Tell me why do we need distractions
Why dont you try relaxing
And stop interacting
Because the demons
Want to take our ashes
So we take action
Thats long last'n
Tell me why we are adapting
Understand we are battling
Everyone abandoning
Canceling plans
So we can stay intact
It's saddening
To see our world like that
Tell me why we put a gun
To our head and die
Cause some of us
Can't handle life
Bullies are like the carving knife
We can't take the strife
Is this the way of life?
