"I Think I Preferred The Question" lyrics

"I Think I Preferred The Question"

Only time will tell if I knew you well
Or if I did not know you at all
It's heaven, it's hell, it is well
The spell dispels the more that I talk about it

And in time I'll show what I truly know
If I truly know anything at all
I relinquished control of all the dreams I was sold
But I heeded my head and my soul and my heart about it

Tired of all the answers
Slowly sure to run aground
I think I preferred the question

All at once I knew all the things I went through
There was no rhyme nor reason at all
Just a vagrant belief, a pomp and ceremony
But I still have a need and I can't get my head around it

Tired of all the answers
They're slowly sure to run aground
I think I preferred the question

One day when I was feeling brave, I got my rage enlisted
I mustered up the courage and asked if you existed
I stilled my mind and I did nothing else but listen

I'm tired of all the answers
I'm tired of all the answers
I'm tired of all the answers
They're slowly sure to run aground
I think I preferred the question
