We Know It

Feels like inspiration
A secret inner power
Sparks of electricity
Counting down the hours
A scent or a texture
The thrill of a dare
Sharper than a diamond
Precious as fresh air

We know it when we see it
We know it by its name
We know it was no accident
We know it all the same
Yeah, we know it

Knowledge born inside us
Like we don’t have to think
No need for explanation
Just wash it down with drink
Chase it down with alcohol
And flush it through the liver
Drown it out with Rock’n’Roll
And take it to the river

'Cause some days I don’t recognize
The person that I see
Staring from the mirror
I only know it must be me
Yeah, I know it

Woooo

That hunger for acceptance
The taste of that last meal
We suppress the evidence
Then tell you how it feels
When the muscle of a memory
Is broken on a wheel
A description of a victim
So lifelike and so real

We know it when we see it
We know it when it calls
We know it can’t be good for us
We know you want it all
Yeah, we know it

Outside of experience
Outside in the dark
Struggle for a grip on this
Before the action starts
They leave here without warning
Yeah, people disappear
And I can’t quite put my finger on
The reason we’re still here

We know it when we hear it
We know it when it calls
We know it can’t be good for us
We know we want some more
We know it’s not the answer
We know better than the rest
We know it isn’t working
But it’s all that we’ve got left
And we know it!

Better better better better know it!
