Why?
Why?can you be a person of faith.
Why?can you be used as bait?
Why?Do we elect evil?
Why?Dont we infect inspection ?
Why?Do we act like someone else?
Why?Dont we love ourselves?
Why?Do we destroy ourselves?
Why?Do people want what they can’t have?
Why?Can I be gay but not a fag?
Why?Does this world say we’re wrong?
Why?Cant they be left when they know we’re right?
Why?Am I worth more dead than alive?
Why?Am I sure we won’t survive?
Why?Am I sure it will be live?
Why? The cameras everywhere make me want to hide?
Why?lie and say I’m fine standing on a corner with a why lie I need a beer sign?
Why?
