"Ignorance is bliss"
A phrase shot and hit amiss
Ignorance serves as a blanket for those who would rather
take it as lies than open their eyes for
true meaning is an unwanted surprise
People will criticize things that make them realize
Realize
Realize
Realize the truth
Brutal, uncouth.
Stop making me think
Stop pushing to the brink
Stop
Stop
Stop trying to prove what was meant to be removed,
remove our eyes from their sockets
while we are just lining their pockets
full of green our blood will glean
the information they tried
tried to scrub down clean
Clean
Clean
Clean our lips from the ash that fell from as we lashed
Lashed through our restraints while our voices constrained
This is more than mortal pain
The universe is vast but we cast
Cast
Cast
Cast down to this ground found crumbling beneath us
We run around in endless circles, a wreath of us
Fuming we fumble, anger it seethe in us
but it is not enough
Enough
Enough.
Enough of this sick lullaby for the mindless birds
Enough of the words
Enough of the meaning
There is no point in leaving
So leave the fight
Ignore the light
Cliche rhymes
That are not signs
Go back to sleep, pretty little sheep.
