Anymore
I used to know it all
Folks would come to talk about what was going down
I would help them out
My word was my bond, I was as strong as an ox
I'd got words in my head
And they knew I was wiser than wise
I was wrong
I had all the answers to far too many questions
I'd read well and beaten them to all the available sources
I was friend to the famous, salt of the earth
I'd learnt from the stars
And I'd time for the world and his wife
But I don't know anymore and I can't see anymore
I can't think anymore and I'm not so sure
I can't talk anymore and I don't know anymore
And I'm happier now than I ever was before
I used to take a pride
Of standing tall above the work of everyday, the common place
I was better than that, I was wiser than that
I was put on this earth for a purpose both noble and fine
I was a fool
I couldn't set the table
I sat to food set out for me by someone else, that they had earned
How could I know, how could I begin
And what had I learnt for myself that was worth knowing
And I know in my heart that I don't know anymore
And I'm shamed right now by what I once was
And I don't think anymore and I can't see anymore
And I'm happier now than I ever was before
