Your problem was That you knew too much It was the first time I saw Knowledge destroy a man You had a heart And the world didn't make sense There was no logic nor reason It was too fast paced You had been through too much Seen what no one should have to see Lost more than anyone could imagine This life had given you pain and suffering With endless turmoil Not even a promise of it ending Nor a glimmer of hope The problem was that you drew all the short straws Had all the bad luck And none of it was your own fault Not a single soul to hold to account No one that could bring it all back Your problem was that you couldn't turn it off That you couldn't leave the past That you couldn't unhear Unlearn Unsee In a world where we all turn blind eyes Ignore what does not please We deliberately avoid the knowledge What we don't know Can't hurt us Nor can we be held accountable Enough to be pacified But you You hunted the truth Chased it like a hound And even when you didn't like the taste You swallowed it whole And it poisoned you against living in a world of monsters
