Knowing This... - Acumen Nation

Here am I, fighting for the gold in me

Save myself from getting sick and all from knowing

On all fours, collecting scars

Punishing myself for giving a shit

About all of it, not knowing…

The force that guides can also crush

How can you steal so selfishly the innocence…

Knowing this, brother how can you

Pretend to care so selflessly for me

With all your shit

Betray’s a great decay in everything that’s sacred now…

Knowing this, how can you

Steal so selfishly the innocence

That’s already been taken from me?

I beat them at their own game

Still I’m the one who screams awake at night

From suddenly now knowing the truth

About the inner glow

And how it’s sucked by leeches, snakes, and

Everything that’s underneath me growing…

Like strife that’s bred to wreck this core

Knowing this

How can you pretend to care so selflessly for me

When all my dreams are gone?
