Questions


What do you do When your world's upsidown? When your life seems dull And your smile's a frown? What can you say When your lips are glued? When you live in a box And you're begging for food? What can you see When your world turns black? When your eyes won't open Not even a crack? What can you feel When your nerves are torn? When your soul is numb And you regret being born? What can you hear When your drums have burst? When the world keeps moving And you're frozen in a curse? What can you be If you're only alive, Because you don't have the courage To make yourself die?
