"You Taught Me All I Know"

Tell me what is real
Cause all I know is all I feel
Nothing more concrete
Than the heart of stone inside me

Hard to believe in what you see
When you're just as blind as me
With the path you've left behind
Marked with all the people aching

If truth is black and white
With nothing true on either side
Then I'm a mile ahead of you in your own shoes
With nothing gained, nothing to lose

Meet my line of sight
When your chin is held upright
And I'm a pessimist of intention
Optimistic for ascension

So if the truth is black and white
And we're either wrong or right
Then I'm a mile ahead of you in your own shoes
Singing the blues
For the road you choose

You'll say okay
And stay the same
You'll say it's okay
And never change

If truth is black and white
With nothing true on either side
Then I'm a mile ahead of you in your own shoes
With nothing gained, nothing to prove
