Lyrics

[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
Wanna 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
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
Feel certain but we'll never, never know
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]
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 and we're growing, never know
[Verse 3]
You never know
Never know
Never know
[Bridge]
Knock, knock, coming door to door
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
It sure seems the same
So many different names
Our hearts are strong, our heads are weak
We'll always be competing
[Verse 4]
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 truth is
All we got is questions, we'll never know
[Outro]
Never know
Never know
Never know
