I heard this old story before
Where the people keep on killing for their metaphors
But donÔÇÖt leave much up to the imagination
So I want to give this imagery back
But I know it just ainÔÇÖt 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
WeÔÇÖre breaking and rebuilding and weÔÇÖre growing, always guessing
Never knowing
WeÔÇÖre shocking but weÔÇÖre nothing
WeÔÇÖre just moments, weÔÇÖre clever but weÔÇÖre clueless
WeÔÇÖre just human, amusing but confusing
WeÔÇÖre trying, but where is this all leading?
WeÔÇÖll 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 thatÔÇÖs just the answer that weÔÇÖre after
But after all weÔÇÖre just a bubble in a boiling pot
Just one breath in a chain of thought
WeÔÇÖre moments just combusting
We feel certain but weÔÇÖll never, never know
It sure seems the same, give it a different name
WeÔÇÖre begging and weÔÇÖre needing, and weÔÇÖre trying, and weÔÇÖre breathing
Never knowing
WeÔÇÖre shocking but weÔÇÖre nothing
WeÔÇÖre just moments, weÔÇÖre clever but weÔÇÖre clueless
WeÔÇÖre just human, amusing but confusing
WeÔÇÖre helping, rebuilding and weÔÇÖre 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 and things are looking pretty grim
If you donÔÇÖt believe in what theyÔÇÖre spoon-feeding
ItÔÇÖs 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, our heads are weak, weÔÇÖll always be competing
Never knowing
WeÔÇÖre shocking but weÔÇÖre nothing
WeÔÇÖre just moments, weÔÇÖre clever but weÔÇÖre clueless
WeÔÇÖre just human, amusing, confusing
But the truth is all we got are questions
WeÔÇÖll never know
