The Tyranny of Certainty

Verse 1 Everybody wants tomorrow's map, Before they take one step. Looking for a guarantee, Life has never offered yet. Searching every headline, Certain someone has to know. Funny how the loudest voices Always swear they've cracked the code. Pre-Chorus Then the ground keeps moving. The answers rearrange. We call it someone's failure, When the world itself has changed. Chorus Everybody wants tomorrow's map, Before they walk into the rain. Someone else to carry all the blame, If hope and fear don't stay the same. We tell ourselves we'd choose much better, If we'd only known somehow. Truth is... We're all just standing In the middle of right now. Verse 2 Yesterday becomes so simple, After everything is done. Hindsight paints a perfect picture, Memory edits everyone. Every choice's just a wager, Every heartbeat rolls the dice. You can spend your whole life waiting... You'll still never know the price. Pre-Chorus So we build ourselves a villain. Someone big enough to hold All the fear we couldn't carry When the future wasn't told. Chorus Everybody wants tomorrow's map, Before they walk into the rain. Someone else to carry all the blame, If hope and fear don't stay the same. We tell ourselves we'd choose much better, If we'd only known somehow. Truth is... We're all just standing In the middle of right now. Bridge Probability whispers. Certainty screams. One asks for humility. The other sells a dream. Life has never signed a contract Promising we'd never fall. Sometimes courage isn't certainty... It's choosing anyway, that's all. Final Chorus Nobody gets tomorrow's map. Nobody skips the unknown. We make the best call we can make, Then we live with what we've sown. Own the choices. Learn the lesson. Leave the blame where blame belongs. We're just people... Finding answers... One uncertain day at a time That's the tyranny... The tyranny of certainty.
