Why do you do the things that you do
Why do you hurt the ones closest to you
Pretending it's nothing, you just turn away
But it comes back to bite you
Some cold future day
Round and round and round it goes
Where it stops, nobody knows
Keeping you lonesome, out of control
The answer's in the shadows
Why do you feel so sad and alone
Like a stranger who's lost and searching for home
All the hate and loathing that eats you inside
The answer you need, still hides in plain sight
Round and round and round it goes
Where it stops, nobody knows
Keeping you lonesome, out of control
The answer's in the shadows
Why do you do
Why do you do
Suffer the children for past unresolved
Brace yourself while you wait for the fall
The cycle keeps spinning and churning so slow
And the shadows still dance
Round and round they do go
Round and round and round it goes
Where it stops, nobody knows
Keeping you lonesome, out of control
The answer's in the shadows
