Roger Moutenot - My Better Self lyrics

My better self still knows That meaning comes and goes What is innate I do not know But meaning comes and it goes Each and every attempt A bit of substance spent Despite the effort I have lent You seem to lose what I meant If I don't use words then each sound goes unheard Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs But symbols suggest they are fit to posses A purpose and function that cannot be met Those who create it know There is an ebb and flow Of neither value given shows That meaning comes and goes My better self still knows That meaning comes and goes What is innate I do not know But meaning comes and it goes If I don't use words then each sound goes unheard Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs But symbols suggest they are fit to posses A purpose and function that cannot be met [x 2] My better self still knows That meaning comes and goes What is innate I do not know But meaning comes and it goes
