I've found something better prepared for you to believe
I think what I know, you're going to want to need
We can't be sure, but I'm happy enough to hold the pieces like a chimpanzee
We can't know it all, but the least we can do is keep the pictures of the places we've been
I've found something better prepared for you to believe
I think what I know, you're gonna want to need
We can't be sure, but I'm happy enough to hold the pieces like a chimpanzee
We can't know it all, but the least we can do is keep the pictures of the places we've been
You've got to see how much sense you ignore to make your simplified solution fit
At what point in your biology school did you suspect that you were full of shit?
And I can explain this to you if you'll listen
We're no better at facing the end
It's more perfect than you'd ever imagine
Would you feel better with the fake and pretend?
I will see with the product of eternity
And the shadows you need'll grow thin
It's no rehearsal, please forgive me
But we'll never meet like this again
It's not strong to live behind your faith and stick your fingers in your ears so far
The academic argument goes la la la, no I can't hear you, la la la la la
I've found something better prepared for you to believe
I think what I know, you're gonna want to need
I can explain this to you if you'll listen
We're no better at facing the end
It's more perfect than you'd ever imagine
Would you feel better with the fake and pretend?
I will see with the product of eternity
And the shadows you need'll grow thin
It's no rehearsal, please forgive me
But we'll never meet like this again
And I can explain this to you, even if it hurts
oh-ah-ah-ah
Honestly faith without truth only makes it worse
oh-ah-ah-ah
Brainwashed children have grown
And their views truly shown
Now the seeds that you've sown
Have been pulled from the roots
By an ounce of the truth
When your grip was too loose
God forbid this was us
God forbid us be proud of our role
I can explain this to you if you'll listen
We're no better at facing the end
It's more beautiful than you could imagine
Let me open your eyes, my friend
And we will see with the product of eternity
And the shadows you need'll grow thin
There's no rehearsal, please forgive me
But we'll never meet like this again
