If Because Then Why

If “because,” then why?
If “because,” then why?
If I lead you to total despondence
If you feel like falling down a well
And happenstance isn't the answer
If you've put yourself in jail
If you've strangled yourself

Because of me?
Because of me?
Entangled yourself in the arms of the sea
If you keep drifting out, suffocating
Why are you with me?
Why do you love me?
Why am I with you?
Why do I love you?

I see more than the storm
I smell more than the bleak
But I'm dying to know
What do you seek?
What do you seek?
What do you seek?
What do you seek?

An idealistic, perfect place
Free of darks and grays?
Machine-like in it's lack of spirit or faith
The end of rainy days
Less human and more math
Escaping future's wrath

I see more than the storm
I smell more than the bleak
But I'm dying to know
What do you seek?
What do you seek?
What do you seek?
What do you seek?
