solo acoustic, light rock.
Hi everyone.
Story behind the song
This song took me forever before I felt comfortable with a recording of it... I tried a whole range of styles for it, but this one seemed to fit best. The song itself is about how we think we're smart enough to understand the mysteries of our world... interpret the rest as you will.
Lyrics
We hold these selves to be truth-evident
Thinking we know the past (We're all so intelligent)
But who can see through the prisms of our souls?
Fractals spin off with every new insight we unfold.
The this is to that as the that is to this
No more than, no less than, all the feelings that we miss
I'm fervently seeking some comfort from you
But you're numbed to the cause, you cannot see straight through
Truth without answers
Life is one big lie
This is where you are
This is why you cry
What can we know? We're but mortal men
Spelling out the rest of our lives like the letters from a pen
Rain smears the ink, and leaves us confused
To know that We Don't Know is all we have to lose.
Truth without answers
Life's just one big lie
This is where we are
This is why we cry
Truth without answers
Life is one big lie
This is where I am
And this is why I cry.
