lyrics

Consciousness is a magic trick
That everyone forgot was happening
I spent the whole night on the surface of sleep
Forgetting just how deep it goes

And everybody knows; they're just hiding it
Questions from your five-year-old, pulling on your fingers
With answers that you'll never know
and no one ever will

The unexamined life is still a waste
But worse is a mind too dulled by fear
We're pushing it down day to day
But it's just beneath the surface

And everybody knows; they're just hiding it
Questions from your five-year-old, pulling on your fingers
With answers that you'll never know
and no one ever will

Galaxies and dying stars
The impossibly large

And everybody knows; they're just hiding it
Questions from your five-year-old, pulling on your fingers
With answers that you'll never know
and no one ever will
