How Come And Why Lyrics

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
