lyrics

I don’t sleep that much
It steals my shine gives me more time to
Overthink the things I’ve done
Though you don’t care for words they still spill from you like swords
Cutting through the groove you move to

I don’t care that much
The biggest lie that keeps me tied to
All the things I need to prove
A time to realign knowing well how to provide
I choose to care for the bones that move you

If knowledge is power
Ignorance is bliss
In the know not feeling strong
It’s the bliss I miss
