Tell Me Why

Lyrics: Woodriver

I’m acting in a play that’s missing a plot
I’m moving like a bullet, which hasn’t been shot
I’m writing a book, which just can’t be read
I’m living a life, which just can’t be lead

An endless cycle which just seems to be spinning ‘round and ‘round
I seem to be reaching heaven but then I stumble to the ground
It takes so much to make me reach the highest of heights
But so very little to make me lose myself in the darkest of nights

Chorus
Tell me why I keep on thinking like this
Tell me why it always seems it’s something I miss
Tell me why I keep on playing this game
Tell my why there’s never ever someone to blame
Tell me why…..

I’m looking at a picture made without paint
I’m blessing a hero but still he’s no saint
I’m stopping at a light, which always is red
I’m living a life, which just can’t be lead

I’m looking at a movie that hasn’t got lines
I’m driving down a highway that hasn’t got signs
I’m making love to someone who’s not in my bed
I’m living a life, which just can’t be lead

A mystery where all the answers are hidden in the dark
I’m surrounded by a burning fire but still it seems I cannot get a spark
Why is it burning when no one can enjoy the glorious heat?
Maybe it’s just like a gust of wind blowing on a deserted street

Chorus

Sometimes I lay awake at night while thinking that this couldn’t be
Sometimes I lie asleep at day because there’s nothing left to see
Sometimes I go on wondering how everything could be this right
Sometimes I go on wondering if I just should give up the fight

Sometimes I look around myself and feel I couldn’t ask for more
Sometimes I stare into the wall while asking what this struggle’s for
Sometimes I go on wondering why the present won’t always last
Sometimes I go on wondering why things can’t be like in the past

Chorus
