I wonder why we crumble — why we have to cry

Your shadows appear so large inside my bedroom light —
as I hold onto the edges of a lonely night,

I wonder why we crumble — why we have to cry

The world is always ending with you right by my side
I learned to roam with wolves and heal from all the bites,

I wonder why we crumble — why we have to cry

Why trade useless information — why tell twisted lies?
Worldwide mis-education, hits deeper in these shallow times

I wonder why we crumble — why we have to cry

Would you meet me at the border —
build castles across friendly skies?
Will we even try?

I wonder why we crumble — why we have to cry

We’re humans flawed and fickle, yet we idolise,
our guts contort — inside we die a thousand times,
still figuring it out until the final sigh.

I wonder why we crumble — why we have to cry
