what i know now - semantic expansion lyrics
verse 1
people now adays just wanna master dates
they don’t wanna master fate
rather play the game of charades
so they can display a new face
but they don’t really wanna change
they don’t really wanna chase
the dreams that evade their minds during the day
the highs and lows they continue to erase
they continue to hide from the pain
they continue, far from the middle way
embracing the flame but not sustainability
so they burn away their own conscious
like, “i’ll turn away from the crime”…
“until i’m the one in office”
in this time there’s no room for meditation, just medication
so let me offer some contemplation…
for in these lines are the revelations
in these dimes lie the devastation
crossed the line of no return
now are we forever divided as a nation?
not a question answered by public relations
but you bet it matters when you go on vacation
what do you think happened to more than 500 in vegas?
now he’s famous, and we are still just blazin’ it
replacing candles with vape pens
memorials around the graves
graves which we have desecrated
chorus
i don’t wanna keep on goin’
with what i know now
what i know now
we just have to keep on holdin’
’till we go down
’till we (go down)
verse 2
from weed to lsd, legality
told we have a say in public policy
timothy leary would disagree
the fall of his movement still enshrouded in mystery
those who behooved him forced to live in misery
those who tuned in for tim forgot to turn on
and learn that power does not come free
that towers wrought dumb still have trees
living on the run, unfortunately
their roots run to deep, no ground left to seep
no water left to deplete
no pounds to consume as they face their defeat
so sounds confuse as they fall in retreat
our towns amused as we chop down our present to build a new future and delete our history
to me it’s no mystery why when i drive down the street
authorities are always ten steps ahead
good thing i don’t take the staircase cause all that brings is but, another dead end
not to pretend that i’m one to descend
only that i’d rather defend my come up in an elevator
knowing my exact direction
even if i reach perfection a bit later
until then i’ll sit on the roof and watch the city lights
so many pretty lies, where did our search for comfort go so awry?
i guess i have to be the silly one
to brave
to brave these chilly nights
closing verse
it’s gettin’ cold
colder and col-
