[intro]
[verse]
Why do humans drive on parkways and park on driveways
Like the signs are just suggestions and the universe chuckles in the margins
Why do we back up progress with confidence and call it order
When the whole plan is backwards like a moral GPS mid-ride that borders
[pre-chorus]
And what’s the purpose of mopping the floor with a mop refilled in mud
Is that cleansing or just stirring the stain till it learns to flood
Tell me if a bathroom is a battlefield is a bath victory or just laundering
The story of how the mess followed you in first and keeps wandering
[chorus]
Because the thing about questions they don’t stay on the surface they dig
They crawl under polite answers people offer like receipts so big
They find the hidden gears the habits the loopholes the little comforts we defend
With soft voices and hard logic till the loop never ends
[verse]
Why do we choose misery when the lights are on and happiness sits unbothered
Like it doesn’t know we’re auditioning for suffering and we smother
Is it a comfort zone with teeth warm enough to bite us like home
Even when it’s poison or a throne made of grudges and control we own
[pre-chorus]
Like identity’s been starving in a locked room since childhood so deep
Like someone wrote your limits in invisible ink and called it character to keep
And if power was stolen if the mic was yanked away when you were about to speak
Do we grow up and worship the struggle just to prove we can still bleed on cue each week
[chorus]
Because the thing about questions they don’t stay on the surface they dig
They crawl under polite answers people offer like receipts so big
They find the hidden gears the habits the loopholes the little comforts we defend
With soft voices and hard logic till the loop never ends
[break]
[verse]
They say they want clarity but build it out of doubt they lace the air with maybe
Then act surprised when joy can’t breathe in a room they keep barricading like a baby
How many victories are just distractions that keep them from noticing their life has lost its taste
If they're genius they'd see the loop is self-made they're studying pain to keep it employed in haste
[chorus]
Because the thing about questions they don’t stay on the surface they dig
They crawl under polite answers people offer like receipts so big
They find the hidden gears the habits the loopholes the little comforts we defend
With soft voices and hard logic till the loop never ends
