If I only knew why red rivers flow, 
Away from a life in torment, 
I can't conceive why a glorified lifestyle like this is 
so appealing, 
Why are there no other choices? 

Why do we feel this is how we need to survive? 
If I only knew why death surrounds, 
I can't conceive your reasoning, 
If I only knew what will be left, 

Shattered hopes and dreams, 
Your excuse is unacceptable, 
I can't relate to what you have to say
