The Answer’s In The Question Lyrics

I heard the eggshells crack as I wandered off the path

And I tried to walk on the wild side

But I just came crawling back tarred and feathered outcast

We're all actors in a play acclimating to the stage

Where we speak in tongues with vague translations

It all sounds Greek to me, playing telephone since the caves of the stone age

It's all a roll of the dice between Irish luck and snake eyes

So don't be so tense, the house always wins

The gamble is the prize, all in on paradise

It gets hard to stomach life, always starved for more good times

So we pour the last of our hourglass

To get ahead in the breadline, to get a taste of the good life, what a punchline

Where was I before that night when I first opened my eyes

And this pedigree unbroken before me

If only one had died I would've never been alive

All the wonders of the world that you'll never observe

All this this opulency through a cheap TV screen

As we miss the last boat swimming in circles in our fishbowls

I tried to erase the lines on the sands of my mind

But this etch-a-sketch is puzzling to reset

Rearranging all the time, a shifting paradigm

No one wins the rat race, forever trapped in this maze

You can go insane staying between your lanes

Or let go and enjoy the ride, drifting into those headlights until we collide

All these thoughts can make you dizzy when we're spinning at such velocities

We'll all meet again in the graveyard, front row seats to the grand finale

So tip the scales to balance out

Learn to love by being without

Too much trust can harbor doubt

The question has, oh the answer within

The emptiness makes you feel full

A true genius has played the fool

Know your strength by the weight you pull

The answer's in

Oh the answer's in

The answer's in

Oh the answer is in the question
