Verse 1
For so long now
I’ve been walking down this road
Full of silent fears
Silent cries
Fear of growing old
Now at last—
Well, at least it seems to me
The biggest pain, the greatest fear
Is that
Of mediocrity
Pre-Chorus
And all this time
I’ve been thinking:
What’s that secret
You’ve been keeping?
Chorus
What the hell is happening right now?
You want to say
I dream away
But still I cannot tell
’Cause this one life
Isn’t long enough to find
All the missing pieces
In the dark recesses
Of my mind
Verse 2
So I try to listen in
Try so hard to hear
Others speak
Liminal sleep—
They suddenly appear
Now I’m here, bathed in sweat
Then there, bathed in light
Torn in half by tidal forces
I just can’t seem to fight
Pre-Chorus
And all this time
I’ve been thinking:
What’s that secret
You’ve been keeping?
Chorus
What the hell is happening right now?
You want to say
I dream away
But still I cannot tell
’Cause this one life
Isn’t long enough to find
All the missing pieces
In the dark recesses
Of my mind
Bridge
Moaning and groaning
They threaten and curse
Or show me hidden things—
Secrets of the universe
Do this, do that
Can’t you see?
Lights on
Nobody home
Seems like that to me
Verse 3
Now I see the things I want
And the things they value
Nothing matches what is clear—
They won’t tell you
This life sucked in
Then blown out from me
These parasites
These angels
That just want me to see
Final Chorus
What the hell is happening right now?
You want to say
I dream away
But still I cannot tell
What the hell is happening right now?
You want to say
I dream away
But still I cannot tell…
Outro
I just can’t tell…
