It's not like there's a book for this or something you could read | |
Cuz I’ve looked around | |
I tried to fill these holes with other roles I never learned to play | |
It seems like they always falter | |
How the hell should I know | |
Cuz it always seems to disappear so quickly you can’t see | |
Could somebody tell me where does the time go | |
I’ve got a bigger pile of questions than I could ever need | |
There’s no explaining these to me | |
I’ve never heard a word about the way we’re all received | |
At least that I believe in | |
I know traditions tell it's different, they spell it all it out to me | |
There’s no need to confuse me cuz I know what I know | |
And if everyone’s all subscribed to fictions that can’t be right | |
Then spinning we all collide one big typo this puppet show | |
I’d usually begin this conversation differently | |
I know it's kinda one sided | |
It’s obvious the answer is a question I believe | |
That no body’s asking | |
Now how the hell should I know | |
If everyone’s so unsure of | |
What's really below or above us | |
Then maybe we all buy in | |
Take our own collective end? | |
These puppet strings don’t pull themselves | |
You're thinking thoughts from someone else | |
How much time do you think you have? | |
Are you prepared for what comes next? |
It' s not like there' s a book for this or something you could read | |
Cuz I' ve looked around | |
I tried to fill these holes with other roles I never learned to play | |
It seems like they always falter | |
How the hell should I know | |
Cuz it always seems to disappear so quickly you can' t see | |
Could somebody tell me where does the time go | |
I' ve got a bigger pile of questions than I could ever need | |
There' s no explaining these to me | |
I' ve never heard a word about the way we' re all received | |
At least that I believe in | |
I know traditions tell it' s different, they spell it all it out to me | |
There' s no need to confuse me cuz I know what I know | |
And if everyone' s all subscribed to fictions that can' t be right | |
Then spinning we all collide one big typo this puppet show | |
