lyrics

We're all looking for a guide
To come and take us by the hand
No lights
No signs
No epiphanies
And I haven't been clear in awhile
I’m going to cut myself out of marble,
I’m going to carve myself into stone

The robot head
of Philip K Dick
Could be my oracle.
Divine android
Hypnotized by intelligent designs
Who’s mesmerizing these machines?
I’m going to speak to you only through spiders
I'm going to whisper constellations of bones

I asked a question
Of the local sphinx
And it
Answered back to me:
“Why
Why?
Why!”

We won't find
any answers here
There's only
more riddles
I'm looking for a hoax amongst miracles
I'm looking for smoke amongst funerals
I’m going to kiss you with a fistful of peace
I want to watch you twist and turn in space

I asked a question
Of the local sphinx
And it
Answered back to me:
“You
Know
Why!”

I need to know
I need to know
I need to know that
We’re equal in pain
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know that
It meant something
I need more than a token
I need a god that’s not broken
I need a god that is responsible to me
I need a god who can see
what I can’t see

I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
