No One Knows Why? (Alternative version)

[Intro: Thick, fuzzy guitar riff with a tight, driving bass line and pounding drums] [Verse 1:] Woke up in a place I don’t recognize, Chasing shadows under empty skies. The clock ticks loud, but the hands don’t move, We’re stuck in the middle, got nothing to prove. [Pre-Chorus:] Lights flash by, but we don’t see, Running in circles, just you and me. In the haze where the truth gets lost, We’re paying the price, but don’t know the cost. [Chorus:] No one knows why, but we’re all here, Spinning around, trapped in the gears. Living on the edge of a hollow dream, No one knows why, but we still scream. [Instrumental: Extended groove with a sludgy, hypnotic riff that keeps building tension] [Verse 2:] Street’s all empty, but the noise don’t quit, We’re all tuned in, but the signal’s split. Got a head full of static and a heart on fire, We’re burning up fast, going higher and higher. [Pre-Chorus:] Lights flash by, but we don’t see, Running in circles, just you and me. In the haze where the truth gets lost, We’re paying the price, but don’t know the cost. [Chorus:] No one knows why, but we’re all here, Spinning around, trapped in the gears. Living on the edge of a hollow dream, No one knows why, but we still scream. [Bridge:Instrumental] [Sparse, haunting guitar with deep bass and an eerie, echoing atmosphere] [Bridge:Continued] Lost in the whispers that we can’t ignore, Searching for a key, but we’ve lost the door. Round and round, we spin this wheel, Caught in the cycle, it’s the only thing real. [Instrumental: Slow, grinding riff with a dark, brooding vibe] [Verse 3:] Cold winds blow through a rusted town, Nothing left but echoes and the sound. Every step we take, we leave behind, The pieces of a life we’ll never find. [Pre-Chorus:] Lights flash by, but we don’t see, Running in circles, just you and me. In the haze where the truth gets lost, We’re paying the price, but don’t know the cost. [Chorus:] No one knows why, but we’re all here, Spinning around, trapped in the gears. Living on the edge of a hollow dream, No one knows why, but we still scream. [Chorus (Reprise)] No one knows why, but the nights grow long, Caught in the rhythm of a broken song. Lost in the silence where the truth should be, No one knows why, but we can’t break free. [Outro: Instrumental fade-out with a looping, haunting guitar riff and deep, resonant bass line] [Fade out]
