I can see the lifeless I feel the darkness under you I can see behind me I can try to hide it But without a will to see the truth I can feel the heartbeat Slowing into nothing Why don't I go When I know there's nothing I should want here? Why do I stay When I know there's nothing I should say? As I stand behind you Lost in all the things that I would do Never really with you Quietly, halfway in the room Do you see behind you? (Do you see behind you?) Why don't I go? Tell Me Why do I stay When I know there's nothing I should want here? Why don't I go? Tell Me Why do I stay When I know there's nothing you can see? Why don't I go? Tell Me Why do I stay When I know there's nothing I should say? Why don't I go? Tell Me Why do I stay When I know there's nothing for me here? (Soulful backing vocal melody) How I see you Now is all wrong With my hands full And its all wrong And I shouldn't have looked Cause now I can't look away And... Why don't I go? Tell Me Why do I stay When I know there's nothing I should want here? Why don't I go? Tell Me Why do I stay When I know there's nothing you can see? Why don't I go? Tell Me Why do I stay When I know there's nothing I should say? Why don't I go? Tell Me Why do I stay When I know there's nothing for me here? (More backing melody singing) Why don't I go? Tell Me Why do I stay When I know there's nothing I should say? Why don't I go? Tell Me Why do I stay When I know there's nothing for me here?

I saw what became of the future We all watch as the faces start to pass No turning back (no turning back) Some fall under waves of confusion Some crawl, some days just fade to black Then it's in the past (just like that) And it's all been for what cause? For what goddess or what god? For who's profit and who's loss? We fade to black 'Cause we can't face the facts Can't face the facts So I call on the serfs in the center Don't fall for the snares laid in your path They want that (yeah they want that) I know that it's hard to remember But you know they will shatter if you act Just like that (just like that) And it's all been for what cause? For what goddess or what god? For who's profit and who's loss? We fade to black 'Cause we can't face the facts Can't face the facts 45 homicides by the 9 on my mind While a drive-by cuts another life line Fortified by the lies on my timeline Four or five guys buy up half the skyline My my these are tryin' times But we're titans when we're fighting in our right mind I'd like to take it back It's high time we face the facts

The infection is spreading Like a field infested with insects, with pests that multiply Unable to treat the infection, it's becoming larger You can't handle You let it go You let it take over Leaving The open field for them to multiply You don't care Because what grows is not deemed worth the fight As a result your plants are dying at an alarming rate Nobody bats an eye We only hear well written public statements full of promises We hear you say you're concerned, that you understand but nothing is done State of emergency, where are the resources? It's all talk Help isn't on the way! Communities will remain under strain Pushed to the breaking point Everyone is scrambling to save lives As long as you feel their lives do not matter They will keep dying
