Verse 1:
He used to be in love
But his aggression turned to hate
He looks happy cause he smiles
When really he's going to break
This tortured little boy
With an animal locked inside
But when you hear this lion's roar
It's much too late
Verse 2:
Does she worry that she's not liked?
Cause what they say behind her back
The tears held in her eyes
It's generally kind of sad
This suicidal girl
Was beaten down & raped
Invisible like a plate of glass,
with a fucked up shape
Chorus:
I'm thinking why, yeah
We wish we were dead
& why yeah, the issues in our head
& why yeah, they're always six steps ahead
Why is this world full of agony & pain?
Verse 3:
Does he want this pain to stop?
Or does he want it to go on?
No matter what the disease
It'll always stay as strong
This derogatory child
Wants something new & fresh
Waiting for a time to strike
Smelling his own burning flesh
Chorus
Verse 4:
These children cursed for life
Writing words like this
No more tears to shed
To express this Hell within
This world of ignorance
Always looks away
Like dirt beneath the fingernails
They're always there
Chorus
I'm thinking why, why
Doesn't anybody ever know?
Doesn't anybody ever know?
Doesn't anybody ever know?
That the world is drowning, drowning
Doesn't anybody ever know?
Doesn't anybody ever know?
Doesn't any, any, any, any, any
Doesn't any, any, any, any, any
Doesn't anybody ever know?
That the world is drowning, drowning
