Acumen Nation - Knowing This... lyrics

Here am I, fighting for the gold in me Save myself from getting sick and all from knowing On all fours, collecting scars Punishing myself for giving a sh** About all of it, not knowing... The force that guides can also crush How can you steal so selfishly the innocence... Knowing this, brother how can you Pretend to care so selflessly for me With all your sh** Betray's a great decay in everything that's sacred now... Knowing this, how can you Steal so selfishly the innocence That's already been taken from me? I beat them at their own game Still I'm the one who screams awake at night From suddenly now knowing the truth About the inner glow, And how it's s**ed by leeches, snakes, and Everything that's underneath me growing... Like strife that's bred to wreck this core Knowing this, How can you pretend to care so selflessly for me When all my dreams are gone?
