I wake up, but there’s nowhere to work
And while I understand I was a jerk
I begin to realize,
I don’t think that I was the worst
It was important to me, I thought that
We could just hang out, but you say
You Don’t need a friend
I tried extending my reach, say
We could head out and dance now
You Don’t need to pretend
I get naught but a peep
Causing me to retract now, so you
Don’t need to let me in
You don’t need to let me in
I understand, were never kin
Why do I feel, why do I cry
Why does it always hurt so inside
Marching on out, on into the cold
Why do I always feel alone
I’m at a state
Where I can see the cracks are forming
Day by day
My costume fades, no more performing
Made my play
A better future awaits conforming
My main mistake
I never should’ve gave you warning
Why don’t I feel, Why don’t I cry?
Why don’t I ever hurt so inside
Marching on in, to take back the throne
Why do I always feel so alone
Caught in the memories
constant severing
Caution never leaves
Auctioned sanity
Monstrous yet heavenly
Product of jealousy
Lost in the everfree
Thought to be never free
I tried to get your help
But all you ever did was say
“Inside yourself
You need to let go of decay”
I see through your lies
And I vow to make you pay
Your light will shine
From now to yesterday
Why don’t I feel, Why don’t I cry?
Why don’t I ever hurt so inside
Marching on in, to take back the throne
Why do I always feel so alone
Now for the asphyxiation
Brought upon by my creation
Pushed beyond my limitation
Look outside your speculation
In a world of decimation
Caused by your sad senseless statements
Breeds a new type of innovation
You’ll never see in my basement
I’ve marched a thousand moons
And all I get is hate
This time you’ll lose
And I’ll be left to take
What’s mine, your rule
And dynasty left in flames
You signed your soul
To me when you sent me away
Why don’t I feel, Why don’t I cry?
Why don’t I ever hurt so inside
Marching on in, to take back the throne
Why do I always feel so alone
