How Come And Why lyrics

How come

everything good goes to bits

how come

everybody wantin` me to quit

any why

is it that only the good die

any why

do I gotta always get high

How come

everything good goes to bits

how come

everybody wantin` me to quit

any why

is it that only the good die

any why

do I gotta always get high

I travel on rainy roads

and hydroplane through life

knife marks on my back

behind my eye`s the strife

feel like the last domino in the row

when will I fall?

like "Knife", belly up to the bar

I don`t care at all

try to stay between the ditches after last call

blurry sight

I`m not right

it`s me I fight

might win, might not

might live, might rot

I float above kites `cause it feels like the right spot

my brain is shot

all my circuits are shorted

all the blotter I dropped

the white girl that I snorted

when I could or couldn`t afford it

my man said there was "no way out"

put a piece in his mouth

put a hole in his head to let his soul climb out

I can`t go that route

I was born a fighter

symbolism is a bitch, ain`t it?

it get`s deeper

I had a dream about the Grim Reaper

he had a beeper

How come

everything good goes to bits

how come

everybody wantin` me to quit

any why

is it that only the good die

any why

do I gotta always get high

How come

everything good goes to bits

how come

everybody wantin` me to quit

any why

is it that only the good die

any why

do I gotta always get high

Surrounded by stripper and drunks

drug-addicts, geniuses and punks

and I`m the mental patient

been asleep for a month

see no good at all

find me in the house bumpin` classical music

starin` at the wall

winter, spring, summer or fall

all you have to do is call

but I ain`t pickin` up the phone

no one else can say "goodbye" when I`m alone

he`s a full-blown manic depressant with pain to kill

the only peace I`ve ever known was in a pill

so I say ill

suck it up

no one can feel me

if you tell me that you love me

I think that you want to kill me

so I change my name to "Mr. Apathy"

any why

`cause I don`t want to deal with anything

I run from demons with medical names

sleep in the trenches of the nang?

and gang-bangin` my brain

while I`m changin` lanes

looks like it`s to late

I don`t deal with the depth I feel

I isolate

How come

everything good goes to bits

how come

everybody wantin` me to quit

any why

is it that only the good die

any why

do I gotta always get high

How come

everything good goes to bits

how come

everybody wantin` me to quit

any why

is it that only the good die

any why

do I gotta always get high

What am I to do in a world full of sin

inside bubblin`, turmoil within

medicate self

the head starts to spin

was I born to lose

it seems I`ll never win

I look around

I`ve lost all of my friends

looked down upon by all of my kin

can`t smile

all I can give is half a grin

guess I`ll drink and just play pretend

How come

everything good goes to bits

how come

everybody wantin` me to quit

any why

is it that only the good die

any why

do I gotta always get high

How come

everything good goes to bits

how come

everybody wantin` me to quit

any why

is it that only the good die

any why

do I gotta always get high

How come

everything good goes to bits

how come

everybody wantin` me to quit

any why

is it that only the good die

any why

do I gotta always get high

How come

everything good goes to bits

how come

everybody wantin` me to quit

any why

is it that only the good die

any why

do I gotta always get high

I got to always get high to survive
