Everything Else

They speak in a tongue, but they don't understand Why do we do this? We find ourselves here in the fray Lost in time Why do we play this Amazing, stupid, messed-up game? We drink our tea Why do we love this? We bend our bones and wipe our shoes We need you still Why do we break this? We run like kids into a storm We're not afraid Why do we eat this? We gorge ourselves and laugh like mad We're high on life Why do we need this? We send our joy like tiny kites And hold on tight Why do we play this Infernal game of joy and fear? We're all still here 20 unbridled things Awake in the burning tree 20 entangled wings Asleep in an oak tree Everything we don't know Is sealed in a golden ring 20 imagined worlds Are sewn into everything Why do we love this? It makes no sense to be here now This world of sound Why do we break this Traverse each lonely window ledge? We're not dead yet Why do we eat this And suck in mortal gasps of air? We comb our hair Why do we do this? We love you more than you can know So let us go Why do we do this? We find ourselves here in the fray Lost in time 20 unbridled things Awake in the burning tree 20 entangled wings Asleep in an oak tree Everything we don't know Is sealed in a golden ring 20 imagined worlds Are sewn into everything 20 unbridled things (why do we do this?) Awake in the burning tree 20 entangled wings (why do we do this?) Asleep in an oak tree Everything we don't know (why do we do this?) Is sealed in a golden ring 20 imagined worlds (why do we do this?) Are sewn into everything 20 unbridled things (why do we do this?) Awake in the burning tree 20 entangled wings (why do we do this?) Asleep in an oak tree
