I Know I Don't Know

[Verse 1] Don’t know what to say, don’t know how to say it Not sure if I should tell or display it Oh, well, let’s go with this, I’m good Nothing new is happening, I thought it would I’m up to my neck in papers, but I’m fine Half work, half play, the choice is all mine Get caught up in a book, get caught by a rook Get caught in a fight, get ruffled, get shook No one to talk to, but don’t think I’m not trying Being stuck inside my own head is terrifying I’ve seen what it can do, it cuts ties So bad that you can’t even meet their eyes But time heals all wounds, as they say And scratches don’t take so long to go away Bad things happen, people get hurt But you have to lift yourself up off the dirt Nothing’s one-sided, that I’ve learned There are even times when away you must turn Hating a person seems so useless Like a carcass being eaten by an animal that’s toothless Nothing at all will be achieved that way I’m glad I’m no longer in that pit today I felt like there’s something that I had to say That’s why I’m spilling my thoughts, make them go away [Hook] I don’t know if I’m being Melodramatic Blowing things out of proportion Feels automatic I know that I’ll look back on My reactions and laugh Hormones screw up emotions Emotions screw up graphs [Verse 2] This would be the part where I call out the “haters” Bash them, say they’re jealous imitators Say I don’t care about their comments of what I do But it’s hard for that to be farther from the truth I do care what they say about me I’m scared of what I don’t hear or see I’m scared of what other people think I’m scared to imagine that there’s a link Between what I do and what they say But worst of all, this feeling will stay And hear me out before you laugh Could you get over people talking behind your back? I guess some can, but that not me I won’t tell myself that lie, no deceit I have a limit, and you do too If you say my limit’s weak, I guess that’s true Then again, pushing limits is what it’s about Not everyone can do that, there’s too much doubt That’s why only a few are great It’s not special if it’s easy to be in that state And it’s funny how we idolize other human beings They’re only humans, but we make them into dreams Something else entirely, it seems tiring To be so loved you might as well have barbed wire and Some of these “greats” aren’t even that good Their stories and work are misunderstood It’s weird to think what they would Have done if the truth came out, and it should [Hook] I don’t know if I’m being Melodramatic Blowing things out of proportion Feels automatic I know that I’ll look back on My reactions and laugh Hormones screw up emotions Emotions screw up graphs [Verse 3] We bash things, we tease things We laugh and we leave things We lose things, we seize things Morning, noon and evening Time flies by then slows to a crawl Problems outside will drive you up the wall It feels pointless, running down the hall Will it be appointed? Maybe not at all It’s up to you what you want to do What’s up to me is if I will succeed But having a group, a clique, a crew Succeed? Please, I have what I need
