My Young Bride

 

Why are so many popular people dying?
Why are once-treasured products unreliable?
Why are once-trusted institutions getting stranger?
Why is it all I’m used to seems so shaky?

When you question, “Why doesn’t anything work around here?”
you’ll get your answer when you see me
I have to be what you love most in this world
It must be me

Why can’t I get ahead in my profession?
Why are there people I’m dreading with every step I make?
Why is it that everything is up in the air?
Why is it I’m left behind? it doesn’t seem fair

When you question, “Why doesn’t anything work around here?”
you’ll get your answer when you see me
I have to be what you love most in this world
It must be me

The earth is cursed
but still, it turns
Don’t play with fire or
you may get burned

You will hate it
You will hate it
You will hate this life
I must make you hate it

This world is cursed
You, soon, will learn
you’ll do things my way, here
and on my terms

An oasis
An oasis
In a land of strife
I AM your oasis

I AM a consuming fire
and jealous

Here’s some faith and
inspiration
you’ll be like a wife
who’s crazy for baking

Why is it you seem so distant in my life now?
Why is it cold as winter all the time around here?
Why is it some people who win are clearly sinners?
Why is it with all of the good I’ve done I’m never winning?

When you question, “Why doesn’t anything work around here?”
you’ll get your answer when you see me
I have to be what you love most in this world
It must be me

Everyone does foolish things once in a while
that’ll surprise you
I never do
Is there anyone who can claim that?
I prove it’s true

No one’s near, no
and you’ve heard too many stories
I’m your hero
I deserve all of the glory
