"Crippling Knowledge"

When all I was meant to be is broken
Why would I want to be whole
Oh, things aren't quite the same anymore
Living feels like a chore

And hope is a place that I'd like to be
But not if I have to give clarity
If truth is to be sought out, let me seek
Don't know why the search has me stuck on repeat

Am I not listening
Am I not listening
Searching and hurting
With everything blurring

[chorus]
If everybody stays
In the same old state of mind
And no one's changing
No one's listening
Why should I pick up the pace
To a place of simple ignorance
Where nothing is defined
And nothing needs to makes sense

When I've heard it all from every side
And everyone could swear they're right
The black and white mixed with dark and light
Overwhelmed, I shut my eyes

And peace is a motive
Peace is a cure
You can feel it inside
But still never be sure

[chorus]
If everybody stays
In the same old state of mind
And no one's changing
No one's listening
Why should I pick up the pace
To a place of simple ignorance
Where nothing is defined
And nothing needs to make sense

No
I won't stay sitting down
I won't stay here on the ground
Unafraid to make a sound
I need to be sure
I know
How much I need it now
And I'll tumble through this like a flare in the crowd
On broken wings until hope is found
I need to be sure
I need to be sure
Until something's secure
Until anything's pure
I will search for the cure
Until something's secure
