NOW I KNOW
© Electric Babylon Music Author: M.M.
I was busy trying to break the code of the silence, my peaceful mind
had no eye for subtle violence, somewhere between innocence and
ignorance I walked across the minefield, I live by fortune so you see
my fate was sealed.
Now I know what it’s like to feel desperate, and not to want to turn the
other cheek, now I know what it’s like to really take a fall, and I know
what it’s like to be strong and feel so weak.
If this is a blessing in disguise it sure is a good disguise, but I still
know where the truth is even chin deep in these lies, but right now I
don’t feel like David I feel like Goliath, I feel full of hate and rage and I
cant deny it.
Now I know what it’s like to feel like a loser, and I know what it’s like
just to want to cry, now I know what it’s like not to rise above self pity,
and I know what it’s like to feel all this without understanding why.
It seems so trivial like a pebble held up to the sun, what felt light on
the scales of justice to me feels like a ton, I’m ashamed that it got to
me but I’ve got enough pride to admit that it did, but honor is just a
snack to some f*** like you whose soul is up for bid.
Now I know what it feels like to lust for revenge, and I know what it
feels like to poke my scar until it’s sore, now I know what it feels like
to try and learn from an accident, and I know what it feels like to pick
myself up off the floor.
