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

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

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

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

You never know

Never know

Never know

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

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

Never know

Never know

Never know
