Lyrics Familiar to Ignore - Idlewild

Familiar to Ignore

All the people around me seem too familiar to ignore
I heard one saying, Oh my God
No amount of sleep can prepare you for your dreams
And spring does not lead to the summer
It’s spring then it’s winter again
Just when you thought you’d found something dependable
All that there is to decide, to define
Is the moment we’re in
And all that there is to decide, to define
Is the moment that we’re in
And so I guess that I don’t need religion to define that moment
I guess that I don’t need more examples of what I should be
All I ask you to do is applaud enthusiastically
How do you know if I can read in the dark?
How do you know if I can read in the dark?
How do you know?
(Can you tell me what I wanna know?)
How do you know?
(Can you tell me what I wanna know?)
Yeah, using each breath as a passing remark
Using each breath as a fleeting remark
And how does it go?
(Can you tell me how does it go?)
How does it go?
(Can you tell me how does it go?)
Everything is contradiction and paradox
And no one really knows how it goes
How does it go?
Imagine if life could not be described, only experienced
What would the experience show?
Just how quickly life goes
I guess that I don’t need religion to define that moment
I guess that I don’t need more examples of what I should be
All I ask you to do is applaud enthusiastically
All I ask you to do is applaud a doomed reality
