God Knows
Night Flight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Finding my own way
Fighting my ego's war
Knocking the same doors down
Picking the same old sores

I need a scapegoat (or two)
I need to buy myself time
Sick of the sneering jokes and seeing my friendships die

But God knows what the hell I'm trying to do.
God knows what the hell I'm trying to prove.

Bored in the city
Placating the folly
Waving the flag for those who chose to
Follow the path of cash and homes

I don't remember (you)
I don't remember where I am,
Stuck in a crowd of one track minds incredible brash in their disguise.

But God knows what the hell I'm trying to do.
God knows what the hell I'm trying to prove.

What if it all just falls away?
Just another life in the milky way
What if the world just beats me down
And I find nothing out of life but a bitter sound
I find nothing out of life but the heavy ground

I'm a strange place
Inadvertently lost
Watching the years tick by
Chasing the love I divorced

I don't remember (you)
I don't remember you
Where the hopes I laid? What of the dreams I craved?





But God knows what the hell I'm trying to do.
God knows what the hell I'm trying to prove.
