It's tragic but it seems

We're only happy when in dreams.

So much pain, so many tears

Empty lives a thousand years.



Nothing's fair and nothing's clear

Nothing's real except your fear.

Why do we stay? Why do we stay?

Why do we stay here anyway?



Why do we stay here anyway?



No, there ain't no hope my dear

Deliverance is nowhere near.

Some believe it and some don't

Some will lose it and some won't.



Nothing's fair and nothing's clear

Nothing's real except your fear.

All the love has gone away

So why do we stay here anyway?



Why do we stay here anyway?



Always looking for the light

For a higher state of mind.

To guide us through the dark of life

To find out we won't survive.



Nothing's fair and nothing's clear

Nothing's real except your fear.

When there's nothing left to say -

Why do we stay here anyway?



Why do we stay here anyway?
