about

“Why Bother is about how hard it is for me personally to deal not only with my own demons but also those of people I have to interact with on occasion. As in, It took all I had just to get to this moment, and it wasn’t so I could put up with anyone else’s bullshit” - Big Jake Bootstrap

lyrics

Sometimes you ride
Sometimes you fall
Sometimes you shine
Sometimes you’re dull

If it ain’t one thing it’s another
Makes you wonder why bother
At all

Today the dark clouds almost won
It was thunder & lightning & I was numb
The head games that you play
When you’re a lonely old stray
Are enough to put a dead fox on the run

They say that dark times are to come
Well I say come on and get you some
I don’t mean to feed your fears
But dark times been here for years
And it don’t look good now playin dumb

Sometimes you ride
Sometimes you fall
Sometimes you shine
Sometimes you’re dull

If it ain’t one thing it’s another
Makes you wonder why bother
At all
