Verse 1:
He used to be in love.
But his aggression turned to hate.
He looks happy cause he smiles.
When really he's going to break.
This tortured little boy.
With an animal locked inside.
But when you hear this lion's roar.
It's much too late.
Verse 2:
Does she worry that she's not liked?
Cause what they say behind her back.
The tears held in her eyes.
It's generally kind of sad.
This suicidal girl.
Was beaten down & raped.
Invisible like a plate of glass,
with a fucked up shape.
Chorus:
I'm thinking why, yeah
We wish we were dead.
& why yeah, the issues in our head.
& why yeah, they're always six steps ahead.
Why is this world full of agony & pain?
Verse 3:
Does he want this pain to stop?
Or does he want it to go on?
No matter what the disease.
It'll always stay as strong.
This derogatory child.
Wants something new & fresh.
Waiting for a time to strike.
Smelling his own burning flesh.
Chorus
Verse 4:
These children cursed for life.
Writing words like this.
No more tears to shed.
To express this Hell within.
This world of ignorance.
Always looks away.
Like dirt beneath the fingernails.
They're always there.
Chorus
I'm thinking why, why.
Doesn't anybody ever know?
Doesn't anybody ever know?
Doesn't anybody ever know?
That the world is drowning, drowning.
Doesn't anybody ever know?
Doesn't anybody ever know?
Doesn't any, any, any, any, any.
Doesn't any, any, any, any, any.
Doesn't anybody ever know?
That the world is drowning, drowning
