The sky’s a grayin but I’m still wide awake
It’s all replayin and I can’t but buck and shake
And there’s a demon whisperin “it’s too late
to learn what we don’t know by now”
Fine dining's anything but rice n beans
Got me wonderin if I’ll ever know what sayin “sure” means
Should I be diggin through my days or dreams
To find what we don’t know by now?
Oh, I don’t know but I’m sure it’s a lie
Been starin at the wall diggin my veins out all night
No I don't know, but I sure am alive
How bout you?
And I don’t know why you’re makin that face
I’ve seen that one before, but something’s out of place
Like a show where someone trips and unplugs the bass
But in you
And I don’t know who’s makin that sound
But I don’t think it’s me and it’s too goddamn loud
I watch my fingers like vines stretch to silence the whole crowd
But you
Sometimes my dog’s all that keeps me sane,
When I can’t trust a smile or hand or phrase
And I’m not sure if I’m to blame
for what we don’t know by now
Red flags refract from another light
Cause this self don’t exist beyond its place in the fight
So if ya ask if I’m alright
Well we sure don’t know by now
