Why Do I Cry?

V5

[Verse 1] Another morning, same old pain, The sky is grey, it starts again, Chasing ghosts I cannot see, This life’s a war inside of me. [Verse 2] Every breath feels like a fight, I’m falling deeper every night, Love and death both hold my hand, And drag me where I cannot stand. [Chorus] (melodic, soaring) Why do I cry when no one’s listening? Why do I bleed when hearts keep twisting? I’m screaming loud but lost in silence, Torn between my peace and violence, In love, in pain, I fade, I lie— Tell me... why do I cry? [Verse 3] Empty bottles, broken dreams, Nothing’s ever what it seems, Tried to run, but can’t escape, This world’s a cage I helped to make. [Verse 4] Every scar’s a memory burned, Every loss, a lesson learned, Still I’m drowning in my fears, Still I’m fighting through the tears. [Chorus] Why do I cry when no one’s listening? Why do I bleed when hearts keep twisting? I’m screaming loud but lost in silence, Torn between my peace and violence, In love, in pain, I fade, I lie— Tell me... why do I cry? [Bridge] (instrumental drop feel — half spoken/half sung) Static in my mind, The bassline cuts my spine, I see the light, then lose the flame, Love and death — they sound the same. Hold me under, let me go, Break me just to feel I’m whole. [Verse 5] In the mirror, I’m not me, A ghost of who I used to be, Chained to hope I can’t define, Still I fight the hands of time. [Verse 6] Maybe pain’s what makes us real, The only truth we ever feel, If life’s a lie, I’ll play my part, With fire bleeding from my heart. [Chorus] Why do I cry when no one’s listening? Why do I bleed when hearts keep twisting? I’m screaming loud but lost in silence, Torn between my peace and violence, In love, in pain, I fade, I lie— Tell me... why do I cry? [Final Refrain x3] (rising intensity, dubstep drop between repeats) Why do I cry? — Why do I cry? When all that’s left of me’s goodbye, Why do I cry? — Why do I cry? For life, for love, for one more try, Why do I cry?...
