lyrics

I don’t mean to interrupt
But can you tell me what’s corrupt
Cause I can’t tell anymore.
Can you teach me how to act
Cause I can’t seem to find the facts or even what I’m being convicted for.
Can you teach me how to write, to sight, some way to fight
As we cling to the wreckage of our own indictment
For those who reap but did not sow before.
Might I be the one to shun the grace of the sun
And brave the storm who’s weather might be just the run I need
To bring you back from not far off the shore.

Ignorance, seems the perfect medicine at the starting line
But don’t rush me as I breath it in again
Even though it bites
We’re in a state of under-appreciation
For what seems the lesser of the two
What I have and what I don’t
What more I need to feel at home seems the more I have to lose

This world is enough for me
Is yours enough for you?

It’s a wonder we stay with our heads above the water
And I’m hard-pressed to hame my way
Despite all the actions
Your court has brought to order
I’ll tread before I give you away.
Can you teach me how to write, to sight, some way to fight
As we cling to the wreckage of our own indictment
For those who reap but did not sow before.
Might I be the one to shun the grace of the sun
And brave the storm who’s weather might be just the run I need
To bring you back from not far off the shore.

Ignorance, seems the perfect medicine at the starting line
But don’t rush me as I breath it in again
Even though it bites
We’re in a state of under-appreciation
For what seems the lesser of the two
What I have and what I don’t
What more I need to feel at home seems the more I have to lose

People causing me to see what i can be i'm ‘bout to be the
one that tells you right from wrong so go and hide and go and seek some
knowledge that'll make better priorities for your mental health put
money on the bottom and put family on the top shelf.

Please don’t let me interrupt while i create something corrupt
devil and deal and find out what my conviction is
please don’t teach me how to act if ignorance is how you act
in accordance all the problems life challenges you with.

My information’s fundamental to an entire nation
I’m trying to give peoples minds cardiopulmonary resuscitation
it’s too late now for some they'll stay as vegetation
I’ma prescribe for the rest deinstitutionalization

This condition’s what we're in ‘cause of ignorance and
I don't think I'm strong enough to avoid me using
this illusion it’s confusion, it’s what i'm using to lose myself in
all your self absorbed hypocrisy I can't defuse it.

Ignorance, seems the perfect medicine at the starting line
But don’t rush me as I breath it in again
Even though it bites
We’re in a state of under-appreciation
For what seems the lesser of the two
What I have and what I don’t
What more I need to feel at home seems the more I have to lose

Ignorance, seems the perfect medicine.
