Never Know

[Verse 1] 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 isn'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 [Chorus] 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 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 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] [Verse 3] 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 It sure seems the same, so many different names [Bridge] Our hearts are strong, our heads are weak We'll always be competing never knowing [Chorus]
