Acquiescence |
| I’ve been refusing to open up these hands |
| Releasing clenched up answers within white-knuckled fists |
| Feels like I bought the ticket and I’m afraid to take the ride |
| The disease and the cure, vaccine or thorn in the side |
| Ignorance is bliss in the heart of the vulture |
| Success, the ruination of man |
| Ignorance is bliss, it’s a part of our culture |
| It’s been so long, holding on, keeping this inside |
| And all the pretenses I tried to hide |
| Tried to renew everything for you |
| And you left me high and dry |
| But we’re holding on, we’re holding on to the key |
| To our cage |
| Dispossessed of the answers I so sorely need |
| But I’ll make the distance |
| Shouldering the weight of this conviction |
| Abstinence from the source of all my intuition |
| The face of a broken man |
| How did I slip so far from who I am? |
| It’s piracy in its highest form |
| Emaciated faces staring at the feast of all the ages |
| Moral fibre frays as we come to the end of our rope |
| Manifest destiny for humanity, quaking in fear of our nearing end |
| Quaking in fear of our nearing end |
| Ignorance is bliss |
| In the heart of the vulture |
| Ignorance is bliss |
| It’s a part of our culture |
| It’s been so long, holding on, keeping this inside |
| And all the pretences I tried to hide |
| Tried to renew everything for you |
| And you left me high and dry |
| But we’re holding on, we’re holding on to the key |
| To our cage |
