Enlightenment

I seek the thrill of knowing Of knowing it all I seek the truth it tells me The truth of it all Cause this world is empty And full of lies But there is more on the other side The answers it brings Lead to more questions An endless road It’s the answers that keep me going And the questions that bring me back All these unanswered questions Are the payback for the wisdom I am found And yet more lost than I was before I yearn to be free Not held back by thoughts But I yearn to know just the same It’s an addiction I can’t stop Is enlightenment just a trick Or do we really know it all When we know nothing
