Never Know

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I heard this old story before

Where the people keep on killing for their metaphors

But don't leave much up to the imagination

So I wanna give this imagery back

But I know it just ain't so easy like that

So I turn the page and read the story again, and again, and again

It sure seems the same with a different name

We're breaking

And rebuilding

And we're growing

Always guessing

Never knowing

We're shocking, but we're nothing

We're just moments

We're clever, but we're clueless

We're just human, amusing and confusing

We're trying, but where is this all leading?

We'll never know

It all happened so much faster than you can say disaster

Want to take a time lapse and look at it backwards

Find the last word

And maybe that's just the answer that we're after

But after all we're just a bubble in a boilling pot

Just one breath in a chain of thought

We're moments just combusting

We feel certain, but we'll never, never know

It sure seems the same, give it a different name

We're begging

And we're needing

And we're trying

And we're breathing

Never knowing

We're shocking, but we're nothing

We're just moments

We're clever, but we're clueless

We're just human, amusing and confusing

We're helping, rebuilding and we're growing

Never know, we'll never know, never know

Knock knock on door to door

To tell you that their metaphors is better than yours

And you can either sink or swin

Things are looking pretty grim

If you don't believe in what they're spoon-feeding

It's got no feeling, so I read it again, and again, and again

It sure seems the same, so many different names

Our hearts are strong

Ours heads are weak

We'll always be competing

Never knowing

We're shocking, but we're nothing

We're just moments

We're clever, but we're clueless

We're just human, amusing, confusing

But the truth is all we got are questions

We'll never know

Never Know, never know
