An empty road beneath the storm

The city's gone, the sky is torn

Blackened clouds consume the sky

And paint the same shade in my mind

Why do some mistakes survive

Long after the moment dies?

[Pre-Chorus]

The thunder speaks

The silence bites

These questions keep me awake at night

Why does joy fade so fast?

Why does pain always last?

Why do we fear our brightest days

Knowing they'll be taken away?

Why does losing someone leave

A wound that time refuses to heal?

Why is life so cold?

So cruel?

Why?

Why must hearts be torn apart

Before they learn to carry scars?

Why does this world reward disguise

And crucify the ones who try?

Who wrote these rules?

Who drew these lines?

Why are we taught to divide?

The storm won't end

The voices rise

A thousand questions

No replies

Why does joy fade so fast?

Why does pain always last?

Why do we fear our brightest days

Knowing they'll be taken away?

Why does losing someone leave

A wound that time refuses to heal?

Why is life so cold?

So cruel?

Why?

Do we have to break

To become strong?

Does every soul

Have to carry loss?

If suffering teaches

Then why does it destroy?

Why does joy fade so fast?

Why does pain always last?

Why do we fear our brightest days

Knowing they'll be taken away?

Why does losing someone leave

A wound that time refuses to heal?

Why is life so cold?

So cruel?

Why?
