lyrics

I've been thinking (what is it this time?)
about that ever subtle line.
Left is the cynic (with a rigid old mind)
to the right is the naive kind,
so free that it is almost blind.

I don't want to (be that old guy)
who dismantles your feelings and puts them aside.
But I don't want to (give up on trying)
to discern the truth from the lies,
and the illusions that fuck up out lives,
the confusion we're expected to buy.

(Is it true? Do we know?)

I'm hoping (hoping to strike)
that balance within my life.
The cynic dismisses (the romantic affirms)
too much of either and nobody learns.
So I'll hold all the opinions I earn,
sort through them when it comes to my turn.

And once you start asking what can be known,
you won't ever find your way back home.
