why do you have to win,
when you can gain
why do you have to lose,
playing a game
why do you have to jump,
taking a dive
why kill yourself,
staying alive?
why hold your breathe,
for having it taken
why stop your heart,
because it's bleeding
because it's beating
you senseless
six senses
two for one
thinking too much
why do you have to grin,
under the daily grind
why always need a rush
in your coffee mug
why do you pray for change
someday
why do you say action,
still-framed
why punch the clock
and punch out your life
lifting your building blocks,
cubicles
(pyramids)
why hold your breathe,
to have it taken
why stop your heart,
because it's bleeding
because it's beating
you senseless
six senses
two for one
thinking too much
why don't you fight the wind,
when you shoot the breeze
why do you ask for war
to bring you peace
why do you have to trip,
to leap for faith
why make words brief,
for lengthy silence
well..
well think about it
i've just gotta ask you something
why do you wake up
to go to sleep
why do you eat the food
that leaves you starved
why do you feed the bull
your share of steak,
leave the bonechew cat
out in the rain?
why hold my breathe,
to have yours taken
why stop your heart,
because it's beating
because it's beating
you senseless
six senses
two for one
thinking too much
two for one
thinking too much
thinking not enough
well why?
