Why Lyrics
I am not here
I think I've never been here at all or ever will
I feel like a place
Where no one goes anymore
Why can't you see that everything's broken?
Why does it seem that my life's turned gray?
I can't believe in anything sacred
When I don't believe that I am real
I need someone to break the silence
Screaming in my head
And in my soul
It seems so bizarre
But none of this matters
Thoughts disappear, hope has died
Now I am safe, nothing can hurt me here
Why can't you see my need for forgiveness?
The truth and the lies so confused as one
I can't believe in anything sacred
When I don't believe in anything
I need someone to break the silence
Screaming in my head
And in my soul
I am alone
Locked in my memories
There's nowhere left for me to hide
But I am not real
I've made all I am with lies
Why does it seem that everything's different?
Why does it seem that only you are real?
I don't believe in anything sacred
So, why do I feel so damned alone?
I need someone to break the silence
Screaming in my head
And in my soul
I think I've never been here at all or ever will
I feel like a place
Where no one goes anymore
Why can't you see that everything's broken?
Why does it seem that my life's turned gray?
I can't believe in anything sacred
When I don't believe that I am real
Screaming in my head
And in my soul
But none of this matters
Thoughts disappear, hope has died
Now I am safe, nothing can hurt me here
Why can't you see my need for forgiveness?
The truth and the lies so confused as one
I can't believe in anything sacred
When I don't believe in anything
Screaming in my head
And in my soul
Locked in my memories
There's nowhere left for me to hide
But I am not real
I've made all I am with lies
Why does it seem that everything's different?
Why does it seem that only you are real?
I don't believe in anything sacred
So, why do I feel so damned alone?
Screaming in my head
And in my soul

In all honesty, I first listened to this song when I became rather interested in Depersonalization. Granted, now I don't really care much for psychiatry, but at the time, this song really did sound like some chilling depiction of Depersonalization. I had never truly experienced it, but having researched it for a while made me feel slightly automatonic anyway.
Lyrics wise, after having parental splitage and long term relationship splitage, it's pretty fitting. Things just get to the point where they seem surreal sometimes in life, and you need one thing to cling onto to get you through.
this is my favorite song. its so beautiful :)
This has to be one of the more depressing songs these guys have done. One of my favourites.
For the longest time I thought the last line in the chorus was "I dirty my soul" not "and in my soul"
This is the only S/W song I've heard and really enjoyed.
this song is really good. Stabbing Westward is awesome
this is my favorite song. its so beautiful :)
