Why do we cry? Lyrics by Callux

2023

[Verse]
I was 17 going on 70
I just want my mind back you can have the rest of me

Feel like I been living a lie
For like half my life
I’m so sick of disguises
You dropped that knife

And I thought that it was over
But I didn’t know I chasing a ghost and the devil up under my shoulder
Everywhere that I go I just carry the burden I carry the boulder
Who in the fuck was I kidding thinking that it would get better when I got older

[Bridge]
Someone point me in the right direction
I been talking to angels lately they tell me to start confession

[Chorus]
I prayed to your gods
I prayed to your temples
I prayed to your demons
I prayed to your devils
I looked through your books and searched for a clear answer
Why do we cry over things we can’t change

[Verse]
Lately I been breaking down
I’m hoping that I can turn it around
No god or devil can save me now
But where do I go when I’m in the ground

For a long long time i thought that the answer was right at the tip of my fingers
Praying to deity’s looking for symbols you’re making the fools out believers

I don’t got no hate for the ones you save
Just wonder why you didn’t pick me
I cannot relate to the ones you claim
Just show your face it’s all history

I was just under impressions that if i just fully surrendered and gave you my everything
That you would at least be willing to give me an inch into stop me from hating me

[Bridge]
Someone point me in the right direction
I been talking to angels lately they tell me to start confession

[Chorus]
I prayed to your gods
I prayed to your temples
I prayed to your demons
I prayed to your devils
I looked through your books and searched for a clear answer
Why do we cry over things we can’t change
