Endless whirls of disillusionment,
Stock my mind like buzzards on a wake,
I can't ever seem to shake the vibe, runnin' like a
Hamster on a wheel from a snake
Some days are good, somedays are hard,
Somedays you just gotta get up and clean the yard.
I wish I knew now what I ignored before,
But it don't matter to me no more.
Restless hearts poison the ears of anyone willing to hear,
Holiness is but a mask for those,
Too arrogant to admit fear
Measure twice, cut once the ties
Of those who peddle scandalous lies.
Don't deceive yourself into thinking
There's anything alive behind their eyes
The days feel short, the nights feel long,
The only way out is to keep yourself strong.
I wish I knew now what I ignored before,
But it don't matter to me no more.
One-eyed ego filled hucksters do prowl,
Slickly drainin' good intentions like a sieve,
Under their cowl they'll trick your mind into takin'
More than your eager heart's got to give.
Morality is but a tool used by
Provocateurs from a school to lazy to ensure,
Happiness in its barest form
Is just necessities cousin reborn
Don't pay the worry no mind, one day you'll find
The debt it cost your mind ain't worth a dime of your time
I wish I knew now what I ignored before,
But it don't matter to me no more.
The human condition's constant concision,
Outward only leads to division
A weary soul cannot fight the cancers
Of a worried mind looking for the answers
With life comes death, don't strain too hard to see,
The beauty in tragedy's reality,
Like a ripened fruit falls down from a tree
And replenishes the soil beneath
At the end of the line, the tunnel's light
Is just another sign that it's time to put up a fight
I wish I knew now what I ignored before,
But it don't matter to me no more.
Yeah, I wish I knew now what I ignored before,
But it don't matter to me no more.
No, it don't matter to me no more.
