Songtexte The Song With 5 Names (Live at The Foundry, Lakewood, OH) - Will Wood

This song, uh, has a name, and it's five names

Why, I can't see, that I am the "me" that I was born into
And what's the source of you?
In your head, in your head, in your head
And yet you believe it's true, well you do
Like you knew anything ever

Never trust in yourself or anyone else, we've always all been wrong
And we built these walls strong
Even I might define, won't deny that I'm trying while my
Eyes do defy and belie quiet liars as I
Say what I say any way I may be saying it, but
I've been wrong before

Well, you could break a shovel when you break new ground
You dig dirt up when you dig deep down
You should know better than that by now
It's not profound to know that you could, you could
You could break a shovel when you break new ground
You dig dirt up when you dig deep down
You should know better than that by now
It's not profound to know that you could never know

So don't you forget that all you project is just to protect you from
The void within the form
Yes or no isn't null, yes it is, no, I don't know
Yes or no? Isn't it a silly question? Ask it anyway, 'cause
What we are is
What we are not
אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה

What myths must make us man?
What is "is?" What is not? What is "what?"
What's up, party people? What?
What I wonder? Why I'm not "whatever"
What the fuck? 'Cause

You could break a shovel when you break new ground
You dig dirt up when you dig deep down
You should know better than that by now
It's not profound to know that you could, you could
You could break a shovel when you break new ground
You dig dirt up when you dig deep down
You should know better than that by now
It's not profound to know that you could never know

I noticed that the sunshine is a gaslight
I'm hoping that this one might be my past life
My Lord, I know enough to get my facts right
And that's good enough for me
And everything and everyone will die soon
And there'll be nothing left for us to lie to
No matter what we seek, you'll never find truth
And it's good enough for me

True believers, I said old time religion
Gimme that old time religion, gimme that old time religion
It's good enough for me, so give me that old time religion
Gimme that old time religion, give me that old time religion
It's good enough for me, so give me that old time religion
Gimme that old time religion, gimme that old time religion
It's good enough for me, so give me that old time religion
Gimme that old time religion, gimme that old time religion
It's good enough for me

'Cause you could break a shovel when you break new ground
You dig dirt up when you dig deep down
You should know better than that by now
It's not profound to know that you could, you could
You could break a shovel when you break new ground
You dig dirt up when you dig deep down
You should know better than that by now
It's not profound to know that you could never know
