Why do I ask? Why do I ask?

Why do I ask? Why do I ask?

Why do I ask, and then I cry

And then I cry, and then I cry?

Why do I ask, and then I cry

When I could just skip away into the silvery night?

Why do I ask, and then I cry?

If doom wasn’t here before, it’s here now to stare into my eyes

Which way do I face?

Which way do I face?

When I’m in the darkest place

I’m trippin’ over my feet, no grace

Why do I ask? Why do I ask?

Why do I ask? Why do I ask?

Why do I ask, and then I cry

And then I cry, and then I cry?

Why do I ask, and then I cry

When I’m givin’ it the best that I can give it tonight?

I wanna laugh at myself, crush the can in my hand

See the past as renewed, not as something I can undo

I broke the mask, the delicate thing

Feeling too tight on my face so I cut the strings

Which way do I face?

Which way do I face?

When I’m in the darkest place

I’m trippin' over my feet, no grace
