Albatross

Can you tell me when the day is done
Been beat down blinded by the sun
Searching my soul for the coolness of the night
Blue of my eyes bleached out by the light
Am I caught in a trap or just the bait
In a saviour nation living in a state of hate?

Beat of my heart pounding in my ears
Sound of laughter drowned by the sound of tears
Anger burning deep down in my chest
Dying daily living life to death

Why do we live?
Why do we die?
Seasons turn and fall from the vine
Live a life of sadness and pain
Come on now and face the strain

Why do we live?
Why do we die?
Seasons turn and fall from the vine
Live a life of sadness and pain
Come on now and face the strain

Smile on my face, relief in my heart
Fly away in the freedom of a gun
The last act was wrote right from the start
Trip to see the center of the sun

The end the end is just a part
Of the story of one

Why? Why? Why? Why...

Why do we live?
Why do we die?
Seasons turn and fall from the vine
Live a life of sadness and pain
Come on now and face the strain
