So Why So Sad Lyrics

Lyrics by Nicky Wire, music by James Dean Bradfield and Sean Moore
Things get clear when I feel free
When whatever's next comes easily
When gentle hands give life to me
When your eyes fill with tiny tears
When I'm this still you are my life
When I'm this still you are my life
So at ease in the midnight sky
So at ease in the midnight sky
But my insides will look like war
My insides will look like war
Paralysed except through my thought
So why so sad
You live and you love
So why so sad
Dependent on above
Searching for the dead sea scrolls
So why, so why so sad
My smile as real as a hyena's
My smile as real as a hyena's
Burns an expressway to my skull
Burns an expressway to my skull
But I'll stick myself together again
Spirit so low that I no longer pretend
So why so sad
You live and you love
So why so sad
Dependent on above
Searching for the dead sea scrolls
So why, so why so sad
So why so sad
You live and you love
So why so sad
Dependent on above
Searching for the dead sea scrolls
So why, so why so sad
So why, so why so sad
So why, so why so sad
So why, so why so sad
