it seems i'm living in a lost and far away place 

it feels alittle bit like sleep 

no fun, no motivation, a simple far away state 

when days are over they repeat 



i glance around / become aware that this is not my home 

i try to climb the barriers but i'm forced into a room 

a simple scream of frustration / i'm tied and left alone 

and i just want the fog to lift and to be back where i'm known 



[Chorus]

and i say why -- have i been put away 

and i say why -- i'm locked and put away 

and i say why -- can this be what i wanted 

and i say why -- i want to get away and i say why 



it seems we're broken pieces tossed into the waste bin 

we're all the shattered parts of dreams 

one step, a simple process to get you firm and in place 

when they take over is that peace? 



i glance out there, the population all safe and in their homes 

it just ain't fair the complications that strap me to my room 

i try to scream, the frustration it tears inside my bones 

can i resist the temptation, i feel i'm all alone 



[Chorus]



and i say why and i say why and i say why 

have i been put away 

and i say why and i say why and i say why 

i'm locked and put away 

and i say why and i say why and i say why 

can this be what i wanted 

and i say why and i say why and i say why 

i want to get away but i ask why.
