MYSTERY OF WHY
Featuring Alexandra Ortiz
Words by Marc Ambrosia
Music by Marc Ambrosia and Ronnie Danino

Unequivocal sense of healing ...how did I get here?
In the middle of the story
Almost feel like it’s all been told and done ... told and done

You played your part so well like I did ...genuine heartbreak
Left before the pieces shattered, left before the earthquake had it’s way
... couldn’t meet me halfway

I wanna find a way to realize
Form a strategy to theorize
Pinpoint the way, crack the code, and unwind
The mystery of why
...the mystery of why

Plans can change their course without you ...settle into place
What I thought wasn’t ordinary
Reveals itself in ordinary ways ...ordinary ways

Stay behind the velvet shadows ...hide where no one sees
But safety there is temporary
Closure comes through phases and degrees ... take it from me

You knew better so you walked away, that’s the reason that you couldn’t stay
You knew better so you walked away, that’s the reason that you couldn’t stay
You knew better so you walked away, that’s the reason that you couldn’t stay
That’s the answer... to the mystery

Edge is set to be released in full on October 28, 2022. ... more
