Lyrics Knowledge - Seeming

Knowledge

I can scrape off of my face
All the soot from all the places I have been to
And call it knowledge
I can stitch and rip the gash
That was a scar until I scratched and reinvoked it
And call it knowledge
And I won’t complain about the blisters on my heel
That we’ve surrendered to the real
Or the feral dogs who feed on knowledge
I’m a statue of a man who looks nothing like a man
But here I stand
Grim and solid
No scarlet secret’s mine to hold
Just a century of cold and thin and useless
Sexless knowledge
So I won’t complain when my shattering is dreamt
By the ninety-nine percent
I’ll surrender to their knowledge
'Cause I have read the terms and conditions
I have read the terms and conditions
Let the record show I agree to my position
I accept the terms and conditions
Well I woke up this morning and saw the pitchforks at my door
Said I woke up this morning—it was dark still—and there were pitchforks at my
door
And they were shining with a righteousness no knowledge ever shone before
I have read the terms and conditions
I have read the terms and conditions
I have read the terms and conditions
I have read the terms and conditions
Next time let’s get raised by wolves
Next time let’s get raised by wolves
Next time let’s get raised by wolves
Next time let’s get raised by wolves
Next time let’s get raised by wolves
Next time let’s get raised by wolves
