Why

Life is like a burned-out candle
but it's more than I can handle.
Mystic veils
chanting, ranting,
try to find a truth to live by--
living by a sham
(why complain? who gives a damn?)

Why is the sun in a darkened disgrace?
Shrouding the moon like a tear on your face
I can't see why we have to pretend anymore.

Why does the sun cross the sky without end?
Parading the seasons again and again
I can't seem to figure out what I'm here for.

Why
Tell me why I must cry for your love
Why
Tell me why, does the answer lie
in what we say
or what we do;
Can you deny me this moment with you?

Why have the stars in the sky stopped their twinkling?
Why have your words kept me up all night thinking?
Why did I leave you, could I have been wrong?
