Counterpoint - Mindset

I know enough to know I’ll never know

What you hope to find

In those empty bottles, and petty problems

That manipulate your mind

And I know… I’ll never know

What it means to feel at ease in line with the status quo

I’ll stand alone

You look at me like I’m some kind of freak

As if a man couldn’t survive in a world so bleak

Without the smoke, the mirrors, the great escape

A social illusion that I won’t partake

And I know… I’ll never know

What it means to feel at ease in line with the status quo

I’ll stand alone

I’ve seen a my fair share come and go but I know I’ll never slip

Not fueled by hate, I just can’t relate

To those nights spent losing grip

All I know…

I can’t let go.
