Why (Demo) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cradle empty people
I struggle for power see no relief
Ingurgitated thorn wrapped at my jaw
In to a feed a thief
My own fate in motion now looking back on original plan
Religion scared hoping stealing questions the good of man

[Chorus]
Why Why Why oh Why?
Why Why Oh Why?
Why Why Why oh Why?
Why? Why?
Why Why Why Why Why?

[Verse 2]
Searching, waiting, hoping
Nothing in my hand
Grabbed this life, this question
I need to know why? Know why?
Understanding nothing I'm blinking insane
More I'm in question, swell the brain

[Chorus]
Why Why Why oh Why?
Why Why Oh Why?
Why Why Why oh Why?
Why? Why?
Why Why Why Why Why?
God up in the sky
I'll wait if you try
See me humble
See me cry
The only question I need to know
Why?

Why Oh Why? [x3]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

The third and last of the unreleased demos featured on the “With Arms Wide Open: A Retrospective” compilation album.
As the album had no information on when this song was recorded it can be assumed it was recorded during the sessions for My Own Prison due to its sound and lyrics.

The song takes a nu-metal approach from Scott’s rapid lyrics, something that is ultimately uncharacteristic of Creed.
