Fozzey - Why lyrics

[Verse 1: Fozzey] Never in his life has he felt so alone As he walked across the street towards the unknown Police tape was all that surrounded his home He never thought he'd have to face this world alone He saw his brother, with his face in his palms He knew it was tragic but he played it calm Two body bags lying on the front lawn Had to be strong, no time to mourn Holding in his tears he realised his fears He'd have to face life without his peers His mum and dad were gone, and sadly missed He thought about putting razor to wrist But he couldn't leave his brother, man, not like this So he bared the pain, and clenched his fists He looked to the sky with a tear in his eye He repeatedly asked God the question, "Why?" [Hook: Fozzey] Why did you take my mum and dad Don't you understand that they're all I had? As I send you this, could you send a sign Everything heals in due time Every minute, every hour, every day I pray that it didn't end up this way But the pain is the hardest thing to deny Could you please just answer my question, "Why?" [Verse 2: Fozzey] As he entered the house, he saw the scene How could you do that to a human being? He couldn't hold it in, he broke down and cried He expressed all the feelings he could no longer hide An officer grabbed him, to calm him down Right as he picked up his mothers' gown He saw the blood, and lost his composure He couldn't comprehend why their lives were over With his stomach in knots and the thought of gunshots He couldn't bear the thought of his parents in a box No cliché could express the pain But this was his life, man, he couldn't complain All the kid ever wanted was a reply Every day that a tear occupied his eye So he got on his knees and he looked to the sky He repeatedly asked God the question, "Why?" [Hook: Fozzey] Why did you take my mum and dad Don't you understand that they're all I had? As I send you this, could you send a sign Everything heals in due time Every minute, every hour, every day I pray that it didn't end up this way But the pain is the hardest thing to deny Could you please just answer my question, "Why?" [Verse 3: Fozzey] The day of the funeral came, it was still the same No sign, no answer, no way He mustered the courage and spoke to the people He said, "I thought that we were all born equal All I ever wanted was to show affection With no one there, I lack direction The person my parents said trust the most Well they're never there, man, they're more than a ghost As I stand up here, pouring out my soul When all of the memories start to dissolve Nothing in this world can fill the void Of the memories that I have enjoyed Mum and dad are gone, I've accepted that But I can't accept the fact he won't answer back So with all of us now, can we look to the sky And maybe then he will answer why." [Hook: Fozzey] Why did you take my mum and dad Don't you understand that they're all I had? As I send you this, could you send a sign Everything heals in due time Every minute, every hour, every day I pray that it didn't end up this way But the pain is the hardest thing to deny Could you please just answer my question, "Why?" [Outro: Fozzey] All he ever wanted was an answer But I guess some things are better left unsaid So in the name of the Father The Son, and the Holy Spirit Amen
