lyrics

WHY

Here in this desert land I find it hard to understand
Here in this lonely room surrounded by an empty gloom
Here in the danger zone a million miles from my home
Trapped on the borderline I find it just a waste of time

Why, why do I cry
Is this the time for confusion
How, how can I find some peace of mind
Some solution

Here I am by myself so badly thrown upon the shelf
Here I am lost in space. No way to get out of this place
Here I am all alone. With no one to call my own
Here I’m an empty shell trapped in this living hell

Why, why do I cry
Is this the time for confusion
How, how can I find some peace of mind
Some solution

I’ve been drifting alone in a boat on the ocean
Growing smaller and smaller and further away
There’s no sight, taste or sound, there’s no pain or emotion
Just a vacant black hole at the close of the day

Here in the dead of night. Just can’t see any light
Lost in a raging storm. Just no way to keep warm
Drowned in an endless sea. Just can’t seem to break free
Betrayed by a close friend. Tell me is this the end

I’ve been drifting alone in a boat on the ocean
Growing smaller and smaller and further away
There’s no sight, taste or sound, there’s no pain or emotion
Just a vacant black hole at the close of the day

Are there answers to all of the things that confound me
Is there more to this life than this prison, this cell
Is there someone to break all the walls that surround me
Get me off of this roadway that’s leading to hell
