Song lyrics

I heard this old story before,
If people keep appealing
For the metaphors,
Don't leave much up to the imagination,
So I wanna give this imagery back,
No it just ain't so easy like that,
So I turn the page
And read the story again
And again and again,
It just seems the same
With a different name,
We're breaking and rebuilding
And we're growing,
Always guessing

Never knowing,
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

It all happened so much faster
Than you could say disaster,
Wanna take a time lapse
And look at it backwards
From the last one,
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,
The moments just combusting,
Feel certain
But we'll never never know,
Just seems the same,
Give it a different name,
We're begging and we're needing,
And we're trying and we're breathing

Never knowing,
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, we're building
And we're growing,
We'll never know

Knock knock on the door to door,
Tell ya 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 this one's feeding,
It's got no feeling
So I read it again
And again and again,
Just seems the same,
Too many different names,
Our hearts are strong,
Our hands are weak,
We'll always be competing

Never knowing,
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,
Never know, never know...
