lyrics

Welcome to the Unknown

Are we ourselves? Something’s slightly askew.
I've walked for miles with that stone in my shoe.
Is it better to know or have no knowledge of this?
Is ignorance really bliss?

Now I get it. We’ve been disarranged.
Again, I’ve wandered into someplace strange.
It’s a familiar feeling. Welcome to the unknown.
No, I’ve never been here but it feels like home.

Are we writing directions to what happens next or hiding clues beneath the text?
The new normal: uncertainty followed by doubt.
Time has a way of working things out.

Don’t rush into it. It could be right or wrong.
Let’s wait a minute to see what else comes along.
It’s a familiar feeling. Welcome to the unknown.
No, I’ve never been here but it feels like home.

It’s just the same, everything’s changed.
Now it’s not the same, nothing has changed.
