Jakalope - Tell Me Why lyrics

Tracing the steps that I take
Feeling mistakes that are fake
Making excuses like imaginary
Friends run away to where I've already been
To where I already am
So tell me tell me it'll work
Out so I'll be wrong again
I look inside I'm surprised at what
I see in my eyes
So tell me tell me was I there
When I was taught how to lie?
I thought I'd chase paradise but
I'll just settle for life
So tell me tell me did I die
When I was taught how to lie?
Don't tell me what it'll be
Because it's all in degrees
And by degrees what I mean is
You don't see what I see
So is this falling apart
Or are these pieces of me?
Is this a nightmare to be
Or am I building a dream?

When did this come to be?
When did things pick up speed?
Tying down my living needs
Tying down my living needs oh ohh
Don't know why (don't know why)
Don't know why (don't know why)
Don't know why I am here
All that I've forgotten is only
Stopping to remind me only I (Only I)
Know that I (Know that I)
Only I can be my only odd sacrifice
I suffered twice and all that I did
Was believe

Its funny how life can be
The circles that surround me
Drawing a reminder of what I've
Done and who I've become
Sleeping my days without dreams
Waking at night without sleep
Missing the truth to lie the promises
I heard I would keep i'm lost in my paradise
The walls have built in my life
So tell me tell me will I die
If I forget how to lie?

When did this come to be?
When did things pick up speed?
Tying down my living needs
Tying down my living needs oh ohh
Don't know why (Don't know why)
Don't know why (Don't know why)
Don't know why I am here
All that I've forgotten is only
Stopping to remind me only I (Only I)
Know that I (Know that I)
Only I can be my only odd sacrifice
I suffered twice and all that I did
Was believe
