No Why

No Why (没有理由) - Kevin Devine

When they find

You in the back bay

Bits and pieces by the back bay

No one asks is this a war

You lace your boots and go to war

Set the shot I put my gun away

Do the work I throw my gun away

Don't question anymore

Not burdened anymore

I weigh the world on

A sliding scale and I

Wouldn't worry

If heads or tails decides

We're all strapped to

The spinning wheel

And there's a blindfolded

Man in a tux throwing knives

There's no why

There's no why

There's no why

There's no why

In the pulpit in the alleyway

In the bear pit

Out at heaven's gate

It's not a culture it's a cult

Not a circle it's a hole

I used to think it'd

All come back again

Less a question of if

Than where and when

Life looping infinite

I was protecting myself

Once it's finished it's finished

There's no why

There's no why

There's no why

There's no why

Iron and ink

Oil and oxygen

The trick of the trick

We're who we've always been

There's no why

There's no why

There's no why

There's no why

There's no why

There's no why

There's no why

There's no why
