...To be drunk in public is a god given right in Japan, so the policemen just held Hide in to dry out. In his temporary cell, Hide laments in his mind about all the disappointments in his life as of late and asks God why is he in this mess...

lyrics

[15]

Disapointment
disappointed all the time
its the risk i take
trying to make
something outta nothing
all you end up with is nothing
i dont know why i try
i dont know why

there is this primal instinct inside
it always takes over
no matter how i try an push it back
this is how the lord made me
and i know wishing for change
will not change me
might as well stew in this cell
till someone comes for me

regret
all the things i've done
for some reason
cant do any good
what is wrong with me
can you tell me
i dont know why i ask
i dont know why

why do i do the things i do?
why does the world looks a certain way?
why do i care about what i care about
why do i need this sung aloud
does anything matter at all?
does this song matter at all?

for its just an expression of
