about

We Don't Ask Why originally started out with a piano melody, and the chorus of saying we don't ask why. The songs lyrics focus on a quietly declining society, and the damage of not speaking out.

lyrics

Verse 1
Live for the moments, die for the rest
When your turn is up you’ll think
Have you lived out your best

Burning desires, may not prevail
The postcard you’ve been writing on
It was lost in the mail
If you care, than care for me
I have the time, but time is not free

Chorus 1
We don’t ask why, to keep our faith
We don’t ask why, to save our face
Forever and ever, the quiet shrills
Surrounding dark, the silent kill
The silence kills

Verse 2
Bite down on the bullet, blood is thicker than water
Break the ice and then sleep tight
You’ve done all you can do
If you care, than care for me
I’m awake when I’m dreaming
If I die before I wake
Life will go on make no mistake

Chorus 2
We don’t ask why, some people change
We don’t ask why, it’s all the same
It goes on forever, the quiet shrills
Surrounding dark, the silent kill
The silence kills
The silence kills
The silence kills
