A Little More Knowledge

Verse 1
I underlined the words in a borrowed book
Half the meaning slipped through the cracks I never took
The library’s quiet but the silence is loud
I walk like a stranger through a familiar crowd

Verse 2
Oh, I don’t want to drown in the flood of knowing
I don’t want the weight of the truth overflowing
Give me mystery, give me mercy, give me air
A little more knowledge won’t get me there

Chorus
And a little more knowledge
Is a heavier chain
The more that I carry
The less that remains
And a little more knowledge
Is a longer fall
The further I climb
The smaller it all

Verse 3
I scroll through the headlines, it’s a funeral march
Light bleeds blue from the glow of the arch
Socrates said the wise confess doubt
I keep collecting questions I can’t live without

Chorus
And a little more knowledge
Is a heavier chain
The more that I carry
The less that remains
And a little more knowledge
Is a longer fall
The further I climb
The smaller it all

Verse 4
Oh, I don’t want to drown in the flood of knowing
I don’t want the weight of the truth overflowing
Give me mystery, give me mercy, give me air
A little more knowledge won’t get me there

Chorus
And a little more knowledge
Is a heavier chain
The more that I carry
The less that remains
And a little more knowledge
Is a longer fall
The further I climb
The smaller it all

TIMES SQUARE

20 Something (Cover)

rouuugghghhh demo :-) tried out some fun sounds in this one

hand in my hand, could never forget
you told me you weren't done with me yet
i took their advice, forgiven you twice
but some effort on your side would be kinda nice
i remember your face, the wrinkles by your eyes
the cracks in your voice are etched into my mind
i recall all the jokes, the handwritten notes
but i can't erase you, as hard as i try

sitting here dumbfounded 
wish there was a way around it

the memories won’t leave, the ink's getting darker
we must have wrote them down in permanent marker
i can't stand the sound, it's being too loud
wish i could fall asleep and just tune you out
remember when it was normal to call me?
the memories are staining, they're written in sharpie
all over my mind, most of the time
they'll be there until the day that i die

you're not worth the time, the time that i spend
reminiscing all the years we were friends
it just breaks my heart to see you move on
while i've been trying to do that for so long

sitting here dumbfounded
wish there was a way around it, oh


the memories won’t leave, the ink's getting darker
we must have wrote them down in permanent marker
i can't stand the sound, it's being too loud
wish i could fall asleep and just tune you out
remember when it was normal to call me?
the memories are staining, they're written in sharpie
all over my mind, most of the time
they'll be there until the day that i die

it sucks to be the only one trying
i saw you today, trust me, i felt like dying 
i thought i figured it out, thought i turned it around, i was wrong
and everyone's always asking why i don't write happy songs


the memories won’t leave, the ink's getting darker
we must have wrote them down in permanent marker
i can't stand the sound, it's being too loud
wish i could fall asleep and just tune you out
remember when it was normal to call me?
the memories are staining, they're written in sharpie
all over my mind, most of the time
they'll be there until the day that i die
