THE KNOW NOTHINGS lyrics : "Abolition"

The room's filled with commotion
Yet I fade in and out
Of perverse conversations

That can't be more than hypocrisy
Fractions of misery drought my veins
And I thirst with wishes of peace

But my conception's torn of ease
So much mocking me
I court waging war

My conception's free of relief

Regarding only distain

Truthful trade
Pushing the ignorance
I, the loathing being

Cornered, unblind
Voiceless defiler
Pleading crown

I, the sinking trier

My ration is purged in screams

I don't even know what I mean
What's the virtue of selling woes
When you're the only buyer?

Pedaling my own path
Each step I laid like a stoned
I never built for what was true

I build what helped ignore you
Every stranger who needed my hand
My corrosive grasp ridded that


There's no faking the situation
The disregard of man

We all watched the dam break
And told each other to "hold your breath"
No more can I turn the cheek

I'm wide eyed for you
This is abolition of my name
And recognition of yours

This abolition of a deaf ear
I listening for you


My ration is purged in screams
This is my open mouthed defeat
