lyrics

Why Don’ You?

Why don’t you take the chance instead?
Why don’t you be my friend out there?
Everybody says you don’t care
Everyone knows you have been mad

Hiding in the dark
Living in the spark
Somewhere

Laughing at the strangers you met
Eating all the animals you fed
Wash your hands before you forget
The times we had the meat were so sad

Hiding in the dark
Living in the spark
Somewhere

Someday later I can see you
And you can see me falling
Like you said, in the end

So take my money, take my clothes
And take my stories, take my soul
The game is over, I hope you
Understand, or comprehend

Thanks for having me here instead
Before I go I need a recess
Waiting for my last friend to come back
Looking for a new train on the track

Hiding in the dark
Living in the spark
Somewhere
