Ignorance Is Bliss

Even if it make you want to stop and stare
You'd be better off it you were unaware
Everybody wants to see that it's not them

Focused and unaffected
You'll get what you expected

You're boring and predictable
Doesn't everybody want to get their hands
On everything that they desire?
I know you're not afraid
And i know exactly what you want to be

Even still you want to take what you can't get
You'd be better off if you could just forget
There isn't anyone who lives without regret

So it seems to be that no one really cares
And so the struggle to achieve the lion's share
And i know what you are
I'm not what you are

He's never going back
Refuses to be left behind
He doesn't understand
How they so easily made up their minds

You had it in your hands
So how is it so hard to find?
You still don't understand
The reason you've been treated so unkind

There's nowhere left for you to hide
Afraid and bound by your design
If you don't know what you're looking for
What will you find?
You need a little time
Do you can get your head around your mind
If you don't know what you're looking for
What will you find?
Something you don't like?

You never get it back
Do what's the point in killing time?
You still don't understand the reason
You've been treated so unkind

Fake, even when you're sure this time it's real
Pain, isn't just defined by what you feel

It isn't so wrong
To be where you're from
The image of what you are
Can be overcome

Angst, you'd cut out your heart to spite your mind
Stay, even if it's just a waste of time

It isn't so wrong
To be where you're from
The image of what you are
Can be overcome

I let my guard down

In a flash i'll change the universe
Or at least the world i knew
I'm so sick and tired of watching those
Who say and never do
You're right

And this waiting seems to last for hours
As i wait impatiently
And it's hard to find the strength inside
To be who i should be
You're right

Why should i believe the words
You're telling me are true?
It doesn't seem like anybody feels the way i do

I'm not too proud to say when i was wrong
Everyone hates a know-it-all

So i thought i'd change the universe
And the world i thought i knew
But it seems that change is relative
To what we believe is true
You're right

Where did you go?
So far away
It seems like everybody tried to tell you everything
And who are you?
Who are they?
Seems like everybody wants to give themselves away

Three days old
Anyway
So you're tired and the inspiration's gone away
Where are you?
In harm's way
Seems like everything is broken

And it feels like i might break
On this ordinary day
Why do we need to change?
When we were perfect yesterday?

Having trouble comprehending
I was sure that i was who i thought i was
And if you want the truth
Then i blame them
I blame you and i blame myself

In all this pomp and circumstance
I failed to see that i had missed my chance
Without a word to say
I waited
As you turned and walked away

It's all right
Everything is fine
You live the perfect life
Never one immoral thought inside your mind

What they say
Does it make you feel ashamed?
Isn't everyone the same?
Does it matter that it wasn't your idea
God is a man
You know for certain
The knowledge in and of itself
Is more than we deserve

So you've tried
And you've made up your mind
Something's still not right
The devil you don't know is still outside

Please excuse my point of view
And allow me to intrude
I have given up on what i thought i knew
And our ignorance is bliss
So we're hiding out in it
Wnd i guess it doesn't matter what we've missed

Would it scare you away if i was sixty-five feet tall?
Would it make you afraid if there was nothing left al all?

It's nearly impossible
Highly improbable
But not hopeless

We are swallowed up in it
And it's neither here nor there
So it makes no sense that anyone would care
And it feels like innocence
When you choose to not resist
We fulfill our needs at everyone's expense
