Tell Me Why-Doors

Verse 1

Just a dash, just a line, now I’m shaking

Thick velvet haze

Meant to fly, meant to speed, heart racing

But something changed

Pulse pounding, pupils wide, vocals failing

Wrong powder on the tray

Thought I knew desire, craving

But now I sway

Chorus

Tell me why, tell me why, am I sinking

Crimson crawling through my veins

Tell me why, tell me why, am I breaking

Wormwood words inside my brain

Just one slip, a shadow’s kiss

And it never feels the same

Never quite the same

Post-Chorus

Turn around, fall down, never land

Turn around, fall down, never land

Verse 2

Cold sweat, cracked lips, frantic fingers

Shiver beneath the skin

Wanted white lightning, rails of thunder

Got a different sin

Broken bliss, wild wish, blood lingers

In the corners of a grin

Eyes fix, black abyss, everything blurs

No coming back again

Chorus

Tell me why, tell me why, am I spinning

Demons dancing on my tongue

Tell me why, tell me why, memory thinning

Songs unsung

Just one slip, a shadow’s kiss

It’s been tricked along the way

Tricked along the way

Post-Chorus

Turn around, fall down, never land

Turn around, fall down, never land

Bridge

Maybe I

Maybe I should’ve seen

Maybe I

Maybe I can’t feel clean

The night’s eyes, needle lies, time running lean

Shadowed hope, torn rope, threadbare dream

Chorus

Tell me why, tell me why, am I fading

Amber rivers take me slow

Tell me why, tell me why, am I evading

Sunrise glow

Just one slip, a shadow’s kiss

Nothing ever stays the same

Never stays the same

Post-Chorus

Turn around, fall down, never land

Turn around, fall down, never land

Never land
