"DON'T ASK ME WHY" by David & Brent Guilbault

Don’t ask me why.
I never understood
Don’t ask me why.
I’d tell you if I could.
Can’t take an action.
Can’t make a move.
All these distractions are just a ruse.

Don’t ask me why
I answer to my fears
Don’t ask me why
They grip me when they’re here.
Terror knows no boundary.
The bearer can’t be blamed.
Fear is the foundry where I was flamed.
Don’t ask me why.

I get so down.
There’s nothing I can do.
That brings you down.
There’s nothing you can do.
There is no reason.
There’s just the rhyme.
The world’s in season. I’m out of time.
Don’t ask me why.

Don’t ask me why
It all wound up this way.
Don’t ask me why
I won’t know what to say.
It’s up to me now.
It’s down to this:
Into the light or the abyss.
Don’t ask me why.
