Familiar to Ignore - Idlewild

All the people around me seem too familiar to ignore

I heard one saying, Oh my God

No amount of sleep can prepare you for your dreams

And spring does not lead to the summer

It’s spring then it’s winter again

Just when you thought you’d found something dependable

All that there is to decide, to define

Is the moment we’re in

And all that there is to decide, to define

Is the moment that we’re in

And so I guess that I don’t need religion to define that moment

I guess that I don’t need more examples of what I should be

All I ask you to do is applaud enthusiastically

How do you know if I can read in the dark?

How do you know if I can read in the dark?

How do you know?

(Can you tell me what I wanna know?)

How do you know?

(Can you tell me what I wanna know?)

Yeah, using each breath as a passing remark

Using each breath as a fleeting remark

And how does it go?

(Can you tell me how does it go?)

How does it go?

(Can you tell me how does it go?)

Everything is contradiction and paradox

And no one really knows how it goes

How does it go?

Imagine if life could not be described, only experienced

What would the experience show?

Just how quickly life goes

I guess that I don’t need religion to define that moment

I guess that I don’t need more examples of what I should be

All I ask you to do is applaud enthusiastically

All I ask you to do is applaud a doomed reality
