Oratory On Paper

Does Anyone Know Why

I sit in my room and cry
Does anyone even know why?
I fake, I feign, I lie
Does anyone even know why?
I suffer and ache and die
Does anyone even know why?
Does anyone even know why
I slowly die inside?!

[Chorus]
I'm depressed!
I feel repressed!
I did my best
But I'm still stressed!
In this world I'm all alone!
I thought I'd be happy when I was grown
But all I got was a headstone!
[Chorus]

I don't want to try
Does anyone even know why?
Every weekend I get high
Does anyone even know why?
I'd rather say goodbye
Does anyone even know why?
Does anyone even know why
I'm hanging from this tie?!

[Chorus]
I'm depressed!
I feel repressed!
I did my best
But I'm still stressed!
In this world I'm all alone!
I thought I'd be happy when I was grown
But all I got was a headstone!
[Chorus]

So now you see
With our eyes we don't see
How the world can really be
For people like me
You don't see us when we flee
You can't hear our silent plea
But you'll miss us when we're free

[Instrumental]

I took to the sky
Does anyone even know why?
I chose to fly
Does anyone even know why?
I wanted to be happy
Now you know why
