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
