You Am I - We Hardly Knew You lyrics

We now hold these truths to be evident
That nothing is vaunted or prominent
We are cells in the hand of a
A loosely flung fist that I'm trusting
It got me in awe from the mitt

How can we march so blissfully on
Knowing everyone loved is alone?
How could you not march so blissfully on
Knowing everyone loved is all alone?

I now hold these truths to be diffident
That which you held dearly
Is clearly frequented
By charlatans fumbling, just like a debutante
Gripping and grinding, a light they depend on
How can you march so blissfully on
Knowing everyone loved is alone?
How could you not march blissfully on
Knowing everyone loved is all alone?
You're not alone

Oh, my head is on fire
Burning layers of paltry disguises
We are strange beguilers pleading for men
Since privilege and poverty and pride

Come on

How can we march so blissfully on
Knowing everyone loved is alone?
How could you not march so blissfully on
Knowing everyone loved is all alone?
You're not alone
