Ignorance Is Bliss-Album Songtext / Lyric

OVERCOME
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 HARM'S WAY
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 anway 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

BURDEN
you could say i might find it difficult to show it on the outside from far away i should seem as ordinary as would seem the truth
but all we find dishonesty and lies it's hard to recognize the truth and why can't i discover what the reason is that i know there's
something left that i should prove i didn't mean to burden you is there something more to this? i didn't mean to burden you is
there something more to this? was it something that i've already missed? peel away the fear that i'm not good enough to give
back what i've taken it's hard to say the dissappointment tends to make the optimism fade i'm still behind and running out of time
it's nothing but a trite excuse and why can't i discover what the reason is that i know there's something left that i should prove

EVERYONE HATES A KNOW-IT-ALL
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

HEART OF HEARTS
close your eyes and try to get to sleep now don't you make a peep now we hear everything shut the door and make it clean and
neat now you've been so discreet now we've seen everything inside your heart of hearts you know pick yourself up off the floor
and stand now wash away your sin now you've got everything inside your heart of hearts you know will you choose to hid it in
your soul? if it's wrong and i'm feeling so indifferent i might be in danger of myself shut your mouth and get yourself to sleep now
don't let then hear you weep now you've got everything inside your heart of hearts you know will you choose to hide it in your
soul?

PRODIGAL
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 so
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 so what's the point in killing time? you still don't understand the reason you've been treated so unkind

NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE
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 and 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

I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE
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

THE DEVIL YOU KNOW (GOD IS A MAN)
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

(A)PATHETIC
it feels like there's nothing i can do it feels like there's nothing left to do always feels like i must wait just a while because
"anything worth having is worth the wait" so it seems that this waiting's left us somewhere in-between it feels like there's nothing
i can do it feels like there's nothing left to do blind ambition is overrated apathetic bored and jaded now you forget something i
wanted to be left alone

LOST
and all i thought i want i lost it all tonight do you know there's only so much you control? you can try to save my soul if you like
but i'm sure this time it's no different

RUN IN CIRCLES
you are all the same go the way you came different names but very little else has changed difficult to find easy to resign didn't
seem to matter when i didn't mind out before it's in everybody wins give them what they want and they are giving in nothing in
return will we ever learn? it's jumbled and it's getting harder to discern i run my mind circles the vertigo i've had enough it feels
as though nothing's going to change

MAYBE NEXT TIME
did you hear that? it sounds like i'm losing my faith did you feel that? it feels like i'm so far away but if i knew what i know now
this wouldn't be so wrong now i'm back to where i started from and if i was sure then i'd be right but i guess i've lost this fight
wait until the next time i can feel it it feels like my luck's going to change i can see it it seems like this time it's ok and if i was
sure then i'd be right but i guess i've lost this fight wait until the next time i know i was close that time before there's still a need
for something more wait until the next time
