What I Knew

So break the chain, deflate the pain
 And erase the hate of the place you fell in
 You dwellin' in stink and your mind goes slowly
 Shrinking, breaking down in the sour soup
 The mind is tickin' on borrowed time
 And your heart won't beat on the jump start
 You're 28 feet beneath the ground
 And you won't be climbin' soon
 Never would have been with you, knewing what I knew
 Never would have give you love, doing what I do
 Too late to give you up, knewing what I knew
 Look what I knew...
 I knew nothing - there was something there
 And I saw it - I just didn't care
 And now it's got me by the hair
 Nurturing my face in shit
 The truth was hanging right behind my head
 Like a fat carrot on a stick
 Now I move forward dumb and blind
 Or backward chasing it
 CHORUS
