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.
