Tülpa - The Only Thing I Know lyrics

– See the look in your eye – Who am I? Chemicals in your brain Saying that ain't right You were raised with Different values Educations Experience And problems So you softly say “I disagree.” – see the look in their eye When they reply “why?” And you present validated examples Using logic — syllogistic rhetoric and answers – but it's not enough to persuade them otherwise – and they come back with bias And misinterpretation Pointing fingers, shameless Quoting their father who Lived with ignoramus Minds – you both begin to cross arms And your legs, setting boundaries Along the table With pens and paper like it's just fidgeting – but we know this is just the beginning Of a Head to head Tete a tete Love set Tit for tat Back and forth This and that Rip into each other's heads As fight or flight Neurotransmitters sink in What you know Is a means of surviving And ignorance is weakness And you begin to see this “no its not” “yes it is” “Look at this” “who would be interested?” “I a**ume you're a hypocrite” – He wants to argue for God's existence – She wants to tell me what an artist isn't – and their voices get louder You think they can't hear you The choice is unconsciously fearful Of doubting – everything you're taught to Since you were a child Thinking there's evil “no there isn't” “yes there is” “Look at this” “who would really give a sh**?” “I presume you're an idiot” – He wants to argue for guns and children – She won't admit her alcohol addiction – and their voices get louder You think they can't hear you The choice is unconsciously fearful Of doubting – everything you're taught to Since you were a child Believing we're equal See the look in your eye? – books of lies As you tell him that he's arrogant with pride But he comes back, shoves another word in your mouth “You don't care what I think about or dare to change minds.” A debate about debates Arguing about arguing How the hell did we start this without Apologizing? It's getting pretty ugly Close-mindedness is just another way To say why don't you trust me? – no there's no conspiracy – Maybe they don't think What they're doing is wrong It's just what they've known All along since the dawn of their Time They just think everyone else is Weak-minded They just think everyone else is Weak-minded “no it's not” “yes it is” “Look at this” “This is indiscriminate.” “well I guess that you're full of it” – He wants to pardon the president's decision – She says it's hard to forgive what I did – and their voices get louder You think they can't hear you The choice is unconsciously fearful Of doubting – everything you're taught to Since you were a child That people are peaceful “no you're wrong” “yes it is” “Look at this” “who would f**ing give a sh**?” “well you're a f**ing idiot” – He wants to tell her she ain't ready for a child – She believes that they'll burn in a fire – and their voices get louder You think they can't hear you The choice is unconsciously fearful Of doubting – everything you're taught to Since you were a child But now it's unspeakable But now it's unspeakable See the look in my eye? – who am I? I'm a spectator Lost in your selfishness What you decide will change lives So it better be for the betterment And not your protection – Nobody should be kept in the dark – Cause that's where the predators lurk So you're better off lying than admit you're weak that's Food for the lions and hyenas while you sleep See the look in my eye? Who am I? – I don't know
