There's no final wisdom, no terminal thought These marks and these sounds are embedded in all we're taught No reference referred to when all's said and done We bark at each other with a primitive tongue The outlines of confusion Fragments of hope never shedding light Try our best but this fuel won't ignite Familiar mistakes carried through life Try our best but there's no end in sight One cannot find meaning with intent alone Preconceptions and ideas have been dethroned No end to the flow of our information For better or worse we must still carry on The outlines of confusion Fragments of hope never shedding light Try our best but this fuel won't ignite Familiar mistakes carried through life Try our best but there's no end in sight
