I Know Nothing Anymore

I know nothing anymore
Yes, I’ve checked and now I’m sure
Ants are marching on my windowsill, they’ve memorized the score
And every second passing slow
Brings more something I don’t know
I know nothing, I know nothing anymore, anymore.

In the shaping of all things
The path of least resistance sings
Arcing lightning, river veins, and love's demands for diamond rings
And the clocks strike 17,
They mean all they don't mean to mean
And they promise it til never, evermore, evermore.

And my muscles are unkind
They ignore my heart and mind
I want lemonade and valentines and love to leave behind
And my miss across the sea
sends misty messages to me
We might miss each other happily evermore, evermore.

And life’s a lamb saag,
A damn fog,
A damp frog,
A scamp dog,

And life’s a goldfish
A cold dish
A bold swish
A told wish...

...Will you love me when I fail,
Can I hold you, when you wail?
Will you walk with me along the tracks each time our dreams derail?
Will you break straight through with me
Help to make our I’s a We?
Will you stay with me forever, evermore, evermore?

And life’s a long climb,
A long time,
A short time,
An art crime,
A start line,
and starshine, baby

******
I know nothing anymore
I’m not bluffing, more and more
Every hallway vows to vanish every time I close the door
And every second passing slow
Brings more something we don’t know
We know nothing, we know nothing anymore, anymore.
