I Wonder Why
Brothers Of Craig Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And hide me hide me from the moon
Dont touch me i am someone else
A stranger a prophecy of doom
I cry in the morning, i hide in the night
And i wonder why
The walls are closing in
The nightmares always win
I wonder why
I dream my life away
I wonder why
There is nothing left to say
I live in a world of insanity
I stand on the edge of time
I wait for my saviour to rescue me
When his hand is next to mine
Ill rise in the morning
Ill sleep in the night
And i wonder why
The walls are closing in
I wonder why the nightmares allways win
I wonder why
I dream my life away
I wonder why
Theres nothing left to say
I wonder why
They follow me the call on me they torture me why
They follow me the call on me they torture me why
They follow me the call on me they torture me why

Each dawn i die
