Don't Ask Me Why

Found another bird today

Lying dead on the driveway

Thirty-five this week alone

A tiny pile of tiny bones

Something oozing through the soil

An ancient rage is nearing boil

I don't, I don't wanna say it

Do I have to say it?

Do I have to say it?

Do I have to say it?

Found her by the window in a watery stare

Pages lying everywhere

She don't know what to call this pain

'Cause she don't know what I found in the rain

So please don't, please don't make me say it

Please don't make me say it

Leave it behind, don't ask me why

Don't ask me why

Just leave it behind, don't ask me why

Don't ask me why

Under the stairs, I found a light

We leave tonight

Just leave it behind

Leave it behind, don't ask me why

There upon that virgin ground

We'll start again with what we've found

And if the spirits grow angry and they curse the land

We'll poison the well and leave again
