I got the gift; the means to explain
But the more I know the more I’m forlorn
I hold the crown but see all its mistakes
Take back from me my intellect
Cuz I can’t use it
I observe, and just waste my time
Deflect from the hidden agenda
There are things here that don’t belong
Theories I can’t deny, reasons that opened my eyes
Lessons that freed my mind are taking shape
Leave me what’s left behind
I got the gift, I got the gift
Ignorance is bliss
I got the…. I got the gift
I got the gift; the means to explain
But the more I know the more I’m forlorn
I hold the crown but see all its mistakes
Take back from me my intellect
Cuz I can’t use it
Reduced as a laud to me, and I know,
Their truth is a lie, these pages and lines
Unfold vile design
I see the signs
I can see the…
I can see the signs
Once you see you can’t undo
What your mind is so well taught to
I thought I had the tools to put it all to use
So I could change it all
To change it all
Reduced as a laud to me, and I know,
Their truth is a lie, the pages and lines
Unfold vile design
I see the signs, and I know
Their truth is a lie, the pages and lines
Unfold vile design
Cuz I can’t use it…
