‘Won't Someone Tell Me?'

I can't remember when it started
I don't have the advantage
Of knowing anything but broken-heartedness and fear
In my nascent years

Once the seed of pain is planted
You take the increasing strain for granted
And concede that a world mostly in darkness and always unclear
Is the whole idea

Well, it's taken some time
To come to terms with my
Predicament, and wipe
The dirt from my eyes

Won't someone tell me?
Won't someone send me
E-mail, text or yell the reason in my ear?
Won't someone tell me?
Please, someone help me
Because I have no memory of how the hell I ended here

I didn't know what I was getting into
If I had, how could I have had issues?
I was as conscious as morning dew, and as wet and new -
What could I do?

From the day the stench of your life hits you
It's the only one you have to cling to
And it feels rough to the touch with scar tissue and appears
Distorted by tears

I've wasted my whole life
In an attempt to hide
But now I've blown these cell doors wide
And I'm stepping outside

Won't someone tell me?
Won't someone send me
E-mail, text or yell the reason in my ear?
Won't someone tell me?
Please, someone help me
Because I have no memory of how the hell I ended

Here...

One truth that has long laid me low
Is that I've had nowhere left to go
I've been so stripped to my bones
I never imagined that I could feel such hope
Well, I'm genuinely amazed
That they say I still look young for my age
And after these decades of rage
A guiding hand has really come to turn my page

Won't someone tell me?
Won't someone send me
E-mail, text or yell the reason in my ear?
Won't someone tell me?
Please, someone help me
Because I have no memory of how the hell I ended here

Won't someone tell me…?
