WHY SHOULD I CARE?
WHY SHOULD I CARE
(T. Beechey)
Why should I care? You couldn't care less,you left me there in utter distress
I wanted to join,be part of your crowd,you flipped a coin,said I wasn't allowed
So this is my place,removed from your scene,hiding my face,kept in between
All that is pure and all that is not,never quite sure which handle I've got
Where is the light? I cannot see,not even right in front of me
Where is the sound? I cannot hear,nothing around is coming through clear
Where am I at? I do not know,can't tell this from that or which way to go
Where have I been? I can't recall...it's starting again --- here comes the fall
Why should I care? It isn't my fault,could you please spare the verbal assault?
I'm not the one making demands,I'm only one of outstretching hands
My alibi is exactly like yours,no word a lie,I'm on all fours
Begging you please,give me a break,I'm the disease no pill can take
I had a dream then I awoke,everything seemed like a cruel joke
Nothing made sense,felt so unreal,the scars and dents,they'll never heal
I wanted to laugh,I wanted to cry,I'm ripped in half and wondering why
Why am I here? Why are you gone? Why does the fear reverberate on?
Why should I care? There is no use,it doesn't seem fair but that's no excuse
I didn't give up,you gave up on me so,like a lost pup,I roam endlessly
Searching in vain for what not exists,the rage in my brain clenches my fists
No one gets hurt,no one but me,down in the dirt of society
