Lyrics

Lives We Wish We Knew

I’ll ask the questions and you give the answers
That’s how this goes and
Through crafted inquisition everyone will know
That you’re lying to me
Or just starting to believe
That silence can tear you apart

And the tendency is to wait and see
Whether we will grow to be
Reflections of from whom we’ve come
And have we been improved?
We wish we knew

I was unarmed
I was shaken
I was under my mind’s restraint and
Trapped under cinder
Sealed in gold
Centuries old

Without my mask on
Without my claws
Without a chance in hell to resolve it
Under pressure
All alone
Lift away the stone

Now we know that we can’t go back
Because we lived through that
And the memory is not history
Because we all forget
We reconstruct what’s left
From minute fragments of truth
From lives we wish we knew

I see this playing out to resolution
Or a twisting path into confusion
I’m headed into disaster or triumphant bloom

Shake me up
Help me trust what’s inside
Paranoia and happenstance
Convincing fiction
So naive

Now we know that we can’t go back
Because we lived through that
And the memory is not history
Because we all forget
We reconstruct what’s left
From minute fragments of truth
From lives we wish we knew
