lyrics

Knowing is half the blame
A cancer with hands to shake
The marrow you sucked
From bones to gain
For you

Oxygen longs to breathe
The ocean could swallow me
What a disgrace
Our disgrace

Knowing is half the blame
Pleasantries wrought mistakes
All that you want is vain and dumb

For you who cradles the coin
Buys shit to enjoy
And builds walls to destroy

Now I’m touched with some pageantry
Knowing is half the fight
For the weary and bold
To spite

Knowing is half the blame
A con game turned to fame
A lion that skinned the world in two
For you

A planet to pave and plot
Your love the almighty buck
What a disgrace
My disgrace

Knowing is half the blame
A cognitive mirror to break
Your conscience longs to fuck your brain

But you can take my hand
Knowing is all that’s left
Knowing is all that’s left for us

At least inside we shelter lies
At least inside we shelter lies
At least we know we’re the only ones to blame
And that’s the story of the human race
