lyrics

Why does everything hurt?
Why must I think of her?
Why does everything hurt?
Why must I think of her?
What is anything worth?
Why can't I sleep in dirt?
Why does everything hurt?
O, why, o, why?

I get up on my own
5:28 in the morning
But I ain't got nowhere to go
So helpless, I watch a new day dawning, like
Am I ever gonna shake this feeling
Of watching the same movie play across the ceiling
I wanna hold onto hope, I wanna hold onto love
But I'm dancing on a fault line

Walk through this angry world
Eyes always on the curb
Why must I be observed?
Why does everything hurt?
What is anything worth
If all our time on this Earth
We're bound to suffer, from birth
O, why, o, why?

Am I ever gonna shake this feeling
Of watching the same movie play across the ceiling
I wanna hold onto hope, I wanna hold onto love
But I'm dancing on a fault line
Dancing on a humming wire
And saying everything is all fine
But I'm dancing on a structure fire

Do you ever scream into the void until you lose your voice
And collapse on your knees in the rain
I know you do... I'm just like you
I get up on my own
My worry deep as bone
Even if we leave this world alone
Well, there ain't no reason to live that way, no

Some day we're gonna shake this feeling
Of watching the same movie play across the ceiling
We gotta hold onto hope, we gotta hold onto love
We gotta hold on

The light is coming soon
The light, the light, the light
