Pressure builds us up
Pressure breaks us down
Pressure coming down
From all sides of me

Now I’ve lost control
Staring out behind
Mirrored eyes, they reflect
What you want to see

Oh, why
Tell me why

I’ve done it now,
I’ve done it now
No way out,
No one to hide behind

Can’t let them know
Twisted reality
But, they’re coming,
They’re coming, they’re coming

Oh, why
Tell me why
If you’re so innocent
Why did you run?

Tell me why, just
Tell me the truth
If you’re so innocent
Why did you run?
