Lyrics

I heard this old story before
If people keep appealing for the metaphors
Don’t leave much up to the imagination,
So I, wanna give this imagery back
No it just ain’t so easy like that
So, I turn the page and read the story again and again and again
It just seems the same, with a different name

We’re breaking every building and we’re growing always guessing

Never knowing
Shocking but we’re nothing
We’re just moments
We’re clever but we’re clueless
We’re just human
Amusing but confusing
We’re trying but where is this all leading
We’ll never know

It all happened so much faster
Than you could say disaster
Wanna 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 boiling pot
Just one breath in a chain of thought
We’re moments just combusting
We feel certain but we’ll never never know
Just seems the same
Give it a different name
We’re beggin and we’re needing
And we’re trying and we’re breathing

Never knowing
Shocking but we’re nothing
We’re just moments
We’re clever but we’re clueless
We’re just human
Amusing but confusing
We’re helping, rebuilding
And we’re growing
Never know

Knock, knock, coming door to door
To tell you that their metaphor is better than yours
And you can either sink or swim
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
Just seems the same
Too many different names
Our hearts are strong our hands are weak
We’ll always be competing never knowing

Never knowing
Shocking but we’re nothing
We’re just moments
We’re clever but we’re clueless
We’re just human
Amusing but confusing
But the truth is
All we got is questions
We’ll never know
Never know
Never know
