Lyrics

The more I see
The less I know
About all the things I thought were wrong or right
& carved in stone

So, don't ask me about
War, religion, or god
Love, sex, or death
Because...

Everybody knows what's going wrong with the world
But I don't even know what's going on in myself

You've gotta work out your own salvation
With no explanation to this earth we fall
On hands & knees we crawl
And we look up to the stars
And we reach out & pray
To a deaf, dumb & blind god who never explains

Every body knows what's going wrong with the world
But I don't even know what's going on in myself

Lord, I've been here for so long
I can feel it coming down on me
I'm just a slow emotion replay of somebody I used to be
