Andrew David Weber - How Would You Know? - Live at Walker's Point Music Hall Lyrics

When the monsters of your sleep
Come rolling out of your mouth
In the day time
Play time's over
Time to get sober
Do you feel like digging a grave?
When the words are cutting deep
And you find that you're still bleeding
In the daylight
They might
Play fight
But one does not play right
In the morning, will you love them the same?
Well you
Don't have to get it all right
After all, it's your life
And who am I
Unless I'm you?
And I've lived this life
To come back in time
Trying to make it alright
How would you know?
How would you know?
Are there secrets that you keep
Between your "friends" at the bar
And your own conscience
Nonsense congress
Black out what you confess
Do you feel like suppressing the shame?
Do you hear the hypocrites
Who never know they're full of shit
How they process
All that nonsense
With all of those non-friends?
You'll never see them again
But you
Don't have to get it all right
After all, it's your life
And who am I
Unless I'm you?
And I've lived this life
To come back in time
Trying to make it alright
How would you know?
How would you know?
Aw, look at them go
Aw, look at them
Aw, look at them go
Aw, look at them
I want to be part of their herd!
I want to sing and not know the words!
Aw, look at them go
Aw, look at them
Aw, look at them go
Aw, look at them
I want to brag about all I know!
I want to fight when they tell me no!
Aw, look at them go
Aw, look at them
Aw, look at them go
Aw, look at them
Aw, look at them go
How would you know?
How would you know?
In the middle of the night
I still walk without a light
But I am not blind
I'm not falling behind
Though I still don't claim
I know the way
But an educated guess is just that
Educated
I have waited
Thought before I've stated
Still I am afraid it could be asked
How would I know?
How would I know?
How would I know?
How would I know?
How would I?

When the monsters of your sleep
Come rolling out of your mouth
In the day time
Play time's over
Time to get sober
Do you feel like digging a grave?
When the words are cutting deep
And you find that you're still bleeding
In the daylight
They might
Play fight
But one does not play right
In the morning, will you love them the same?
Well you
Don't have to get it all right
After all, it's your life
And who am I
Unless I'm you?
And I've lived this life
To come back in time
Trying to make it alright
How would you know?
How would you know?
Are there secrets that you keep
Between your "friends" at the bar
And your own conscience

Do you feel like suppressing the shame?
Do you hear the hypocrites
