[Verse 1]
I don't know, that's the thesis statement
Generally used as speech abatement
But this time its meaningful in its placement
Knowledge is meaningless its time we face it
If I learn from you and you learn from me
How circular would that reasoning be
But logic be damned that's the way that it works
Handed everything we know by those who came first
Or at least before, they'd try to teach us more
But it's difficult to do from beneath the floor
Ignorance can be impossible to clean from the pores though
Accurate information is even moreso
What is a man just a shell and some secrets
Lesson plan be damned if he doesn't think he needs this
Admission of ignorance is just a sign of weakness
If I dunno it doesn't matter, fuck off with that geek shit
[Hook]
We learn to read and write
To prove that we are right
Struggling against the dark
In what we know is a needless fight
[Verse 2]
I find freedom is ill defined
No one's really free on a long enough timeline
I die and you die before said line ends
Only forsake existence when I think of my friends
Turning to ash, crumbling to dust
The present was the future but the past is what it was
And that's where it stays, that's where they lay
Every single day that was before today
Am I passing the grade or simply passing the time
Which one is wrong, which one is fine
Which pieces of me should I leave behind
On this path to the top of the mountain I climb
No fate, no god, and no masters
No snakes offering fruit, no walls, and no plaster
Some of these things are not like the rest
And there's no reward for passing the test
[Bridge]
We learn to read and write
To prove that we are right
Struggling against the dark
In what we know is a needless fight
You say you've seen the light
Some say you're going blind
Wish I could say you're doing alright
But history hasn't been so kind
