When we have so much to say
And words seem so useless
Nothing I want to say can
Be done verbally

I’d like to understand
I’d like to understand
I need to understand

But then I’m afraid
What if we get to know it all
And are kept here?

Sometimes I feel like I am
Walking over the edge
What if I get to see the other side?
I don’t think I’d bear
To be here if I knew the whys

Ignorance can be a blessing
Ignorance will be the death of us all

I’d like to understand
I’d like to understand
I want to understand
And I am afraid to understand
Afraid to understand
Afraid
