why?

I heard the news
emotions boil over,
contaminated
by unproven fact,
minor distraction
from a major conflict,
a simple mistake
and it's my head on a stick,

[chorus]
mind's full of words
of mixed emotions,
how many bricks does it take
to build a lie?
too many things to say
and too much on the line,
so much to ask but,
all that comes out is "why?"

I heard the news
in a state of mental shock,
nothing to believe
and my compassion is now locked,
Complex simplicities
My mind under attack,
Body tears at the seam
Don't make my world go black,


[chorus]
mind's full of words
of mixed emotions,
how many bricks does it take
to build a lie?
too many things to say
and too much on the line,
so much to ask but,
all that comes out is "why?"

I heard the news
can't believe it's finally time,
all comes down to this moment
and there's no chance to rewind,
half way between
desperation and sadness,
permanent headache
this decision is madness!

[chorus]
mind's full of words
of mixed emotions,
how many bricks does it take
to build a lie?
too many things to say
and too much on the line,
so much to ask but,
all that comes out is "why?"

now is the time!
so long i've waited for this!
so long i've denied this!
so much to ask,
so much to say!
it's all on the line
and all i can say is...
why?
