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.
