Why?

by enfant du tordu chagrin   Jul 19, 2006


Why must everything hurt like this?
When comes my promised moment of bliss?
Why does it always seem my fault?
And I get hurt, almost by default

Am I everybody's whipping post?
With harsh words, my skin, to flay and roast
When people hurt, why am I their toy?
Assuaging their pain, Naught but a decoy

No matter the effort I make
No matter it's not my mistake
No matter what it is I do
Somehow I end up hurt anew

Even though I hurt for myself
It seems I must too hurt for them
Loneliness is all I can feel
As without thought they condemn

I must suffer their pain
Each and every one's
Take my own, along with theirs
And I've nowhere to run

Why has the world got a problem?
And why doesn't it stay with them?
Why take it all out on me?
Leaving me with a tear and a plea

Please god let my heart rest, let my soul have peace
And let all of these problems, just suddenly cease
Let things go off as planned for once, Let me have my single joy
You won already, just let it rest, I've been shattered by your ploy
