I Wish I Knew by Michael Mcguire
I Wish I Knew lyrics
I WISH I KNEW
� Electric Babylon Music Author: M.M.
I can be lost if I want to be lost, illusion is the buyer reality the cost,
I�ve been looking and all I�ve found is today, the buddha knows but the
buddha don�t point the way, but your closest to flying standing on the
ledge, and sorrow is less of a gamble then a pledge, to each his own to
each his all, the truth is on the rise in this fall.
And here I stand like I�ve got it all figured out, but I speak from
sincerity and doubt, here I am trying to tell you, when the truth is I
wish I knew.
My heart is in a snare my soul is sick, there is an atmosphere between
me and the world that�s three feet thick, communication is the secret
but now I just cant speak, and the world seems so slapstick and tongue
in cheek, all the loser�s are winning but their kingdoms are for sell,
there�s but a vague sense of direction though we know the way so well,
and I�m trying so hard not to try, I�m in wonder but not for why.
And here I stand like I�ve got it all figured out, but I speak from
sincerity and doubt, here I am trying to tell you, when the truth is I
wish I knew.
There�s a vision that befalls the blind, the apparition of body in this
ghost like mind, we dance thru ancient winds to a timeless tune, with
the limited notions of never or soon, and all that�s left of the great
romance, is this lonesome yet compelling dance, but come look my
love it�s raining stars, oh at last our world is ours.
And here we stand we�ve got it all figured out, but all we know is
sincerity and doubt, what will we think what will we do, what can we be
I wish we knew.
