[male] Why do we chase what we’ll never capture? Why do we crave what we can’t contain? Why do we burn through the ties that bind us, Then scream at the silence that remains? [female] Why do we hold what is bound to shatter? Why do we run when we need to stay? Why do we hide from the ones who know us, Then beg them to pull us back again? [together, hauntingly] Why do we build when the walls keep falling? Why do we scream when no one’s calling? Why do we tear ourselves in two, Searching for something that feels like truth? Why do we? [male] Why do we stare at the broken pieces? Hoping they’ll somehow fit again? Why do we cling to the past like armor, When it cuts us deeper than the end? [female] Why do we climb when the peak keeps fading? Why do we dive where the currents pull? Why do we run to the edge of nothing, Just to prove we’re powerful? [together, grunge intensity] Why do we build when the walls keep falling? Why do we scream when no one’s calling? Why do we tear ourselves in two, Searching for something that feels like truth? Why do we? [male & female, haunting] Do we carry the weight just to feel alive? Do we tear it apart just to say we tried? Do we drown in the waves just to test the shore? What’s the point of wanting more? [together, crescendo] Why do we break what we can’t keep mending? Why do we fight when there’s no defending? Why do we rise just to watch it all fall? Why do we keep on asking at all? [together, fading into a haunting refrain] Why do we stay? Why do we fall? Why do we question anything at all? Why do we stay? Why do we fall? Why do we question anything at all?
