Why?

Darling are you feeling alright?
You look rather pale
And all our friends are, all our friends are watching us
(I wanna go home)
Why run away?
Why, why, why?
Darling, are you seeing inside?
The wolves are alive
And all our faith is, all our faith is wrong
Let me go home
But why run away?
Why, why, why?
And all we’re feeling slowly comes unraveled
And all we’re fearing, comes to pull us under
So why run away?
Why, why, why?
Say yes, I'm alive
Say no, I'm alive
Say yes, I'm alive
Say no, I'm alive
So, we feel so irrelevant, we’re rolling televised
Our pride will bolt us to the ground
And the earth itself will swallow us whole
We can’t think for those who’ll suffer
Darling, are you feeling alright?
Take a look at your fear
And all our fate is, all are faith in all
But why run away?
Why?
When we can just walk away
Why, why, why?
