The Reason Why Lyrics by Eternity Opens

This Brief Gap of Light

2021

Master: It’s time for you to die
It’s time for me to try (one last time)
To explain what you’re doing wrong
If you can manage to follow along

Cause you keep getting on my nerves (on my nerves)
Soon you’ll get what you deserve (what you deserve)
I can’t help you anymore (anymore)
Here’s my fists and there’s the door (there’s the door)

Disciple: It’s time for me to die
I think I know the reason why
All I do is get in the way
Evеn when I do what you say

Master: I’m your life
I’m your soul
You arе slipping
Out of control

Because I know it won’t be long
Before you decide that I am wrong
You’re losing respect for me
Can’t you see, you’ll never be free

Disciple: I think I know the reason why
I think I know the reason why
The reason why

I’m sorry for going behind your back
I’m sorry for the lies
I’m sorry I never listen
Forgive me one last time

Master: You’ve let me, you’ve let me down
You’ve let me, you’ve let me down
You’ve let me, you’ve let me down
You’d let me, you’d let me drown

Disciple: I’m nothing without you
You made me what I am
It’s not your fault I’m not good enough
It’s mine, like it always is

My friends tell me you’re cruel
But you do it all to make me clean
I’m dirty and wretched
I deserve everything I get

Why can’t I do anything right
I think I know the reason why
Why are you never satisfied
I think I know the reason why

All the pain and the beatings
My blood spattering the ground
The hidden cuts where they’ll never see
It’s worth it just to make you smile

It’s the one thing I can do right
I think I know the reason why
The moments when you’re satisfied
I think I know the reason why

Master: You live to please me
You need my love
You need my shelter
And God’s grace above
