Don't Know Why Lyrics
There must be something wrong with me
I get so tired I can’t sleep
The voices in my head are haunting my dreams
No matter how I try
To kill the thoughts inside
I can not
I can not hide
The mirror’s staring back at me
The crack and lines along my face
The times I try to get things straight but could not
I know how hard I try
To keep myself alive
I don’t know
I don’t know why
Funny how
When the darkest of knights falls down
Worry that I will never see sun shining again
The world goes round
What comes up doesn’t get back down
Wonder if I can stick around
Feel the light of the day
Sometimes I feel like I am dying down here
I feel a raging storm inside of my skin
The dial tone is there but no one is calling
I feel the weight of time
Wonder when I will die
I don’t know
I don’t know why
I get so tired I can’t sleep
The voices in my head are haunting my dreams
No matter how I try
To kill the thoughts inside
I can not
I can not hide
The crack and lines along my face
The times I try to get things straight but could not
I know how hard I try
To keep myself alive
I don’t know
I don’t know why
When the darkest of knights falls down
Worry that I will never see sun shining again
The world goes round
What comes up doesn’t get back down
Wonder if I can stick around
Feel the light of the day
I feel a raging storm inside of my skin
The dial tone is there but no one is calling
I feel the weight of time
Wonder when I will die
I don’t know
I don’t know why

"The dial tone is never no ones" should be "The dial tone is there but no one is holding"
The meaning of the song is pretty self explanatory... however, if you're in the right (wrong?) place in your life, listening to this song can be a rather powerful experience.
hell yeah the new cd is going to be awesome..it got leaked, i got it. sounds more like old saves the day, none of that in reverie shiz, which wasnt bad, i just like the through being cool and say what you are STD better, so if your an old STD fan you are sure to love the new album
Probably my favourite song off the new album, but I change my mind every day.
haha i know how you feel. i change my mind everyday. I have been practically dying waiting for this Album.

it's funny that the first dude to comment on this song said that the new CD doesn't sound like "that in reverie shiz," when this song has a very In Reverie feel to it. the new CD definitely does rule, though.
also, i think that "What comes up doesn’t get back down" should be "what was up is again back down."
hey backupdork, im not a dude but thanks for quoting me man
once again good song, but im worried about chris and i hope he doesnt commit suicide or something this album is pretty dark
I read in a Rollingstone article that he wrote this song when he was contemplating suicide after the failure of "In Reverie," and now this song is therapeutic to him.
And i thought it was "The dial tone is there but no one is calling..."
