Never Know

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 want to 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

[Pre-Chorus 1]

It sure seems the same

With a different name

We're breaking and rebuilding

And we're growing, always guessing

[Chorus 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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 afterBut after all

We're just a bubble in a boiling pot just

One breath in a chain of thought

We're moments just combusting

We feel certain but we'll never never know

[Pre-Chorus 2]

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

[Chorus 2]

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, never growing

Never know, if you never know, never know, never know

[Bridge]

Knock knock, coming door to door

To tell you that their metaphor is better than yours

And you can either sink or swim

And 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

[Pre-Chorus 3]

It sure seems the same

So many different names

Our hearts are strong, our heads are weak

We'll always be competing

[Chorus 3]

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

But the true things

All we got is questions

We'll never know

[Outro]

Never know, never know, never know...
