Never know

[Verse 1]I heard this old story beforeWhere the people keep on killing for their metaphorsBut don't leave much up to the imaginationSo I want to give this imagery backBut I know it just isn't so easy like thatSo I turn the page and read the story again and again and againIt sure seems the same with a different nameWe're breaking and rebuilding and we're growing, always guessing

[Chorus]Never knowingWe're shocking but we're nothingWe're just moments, we're clever but we're cluelessWe're just human, amusing and confusingWe're trying, but where is this all leading?We'll never know

[Verse 2]It all happened so much faster than you can say disasterWant to take a time-lapse and look at it backwardsFind the last word and maybe that's just the answer that we're afterBut after all we're just a bubble in a boiling potJust one breath in a chain of thoughtWe're moments just combustingWe feel certain but we'll never, never knowIt sure seems the same, give it a different nameWe're begging and we're needingAnd we're tryingAnd we're breathing

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]Knock, knock, coming door to doorTo tell you that their metaphor is better than yoursAnd you can either sink or swim and things are looking pretty grimIf you don't believe in what they're spoon-feedingIt's got no feeling so I read it again and again and againIt sure seems the same, so many different names

[Bridge]Our hearts are strong, our heads are weakWe'll always be competing never knowing

[Chorus]
