[Chorus]

True fear is when

Everything you know

Is shadowed by everything you don't

True fear is when

Everything you know

Is shadowed by everything you don't

True fear is when

You cannot mend


[Verse 1]

Too quick to tell

Every passerby

Of Dante's descent into hell

You really think you'll ever redefine?

Or put yourself inside a 14th-century mind?

It's just your assigned meaning

Your half-assed portrayal


[Verse 2]

We think we've got the right

To give еverything a name

A reward for our knowlеdge rendered

But what of those things we cannot see?

Should we assume their purpose?

Are they meaningful as we?


[Chorus]

True fear is when

Everything you know

Is shadowed by everything you don't

True fear is when

You cannot mend


[Post-Chorus]

So what's the point?

I'm not even sure

What it is I'm trying to avoid

Block out the noise, don't escalate

Wash my hands and stand up straight

It's all in vain, still, I can't maintain


[Bridge]

There's a beast that lives in every human mind

But we can't comprehend its role in our lives

We wish our finger's on the pulse

So we can try to understand

But we can't admit ourselves

That it is dead


[Outro]

Can I connect (Can I connect)

Where lies and ignorance intersect?

Can I connect (Can I connect)

Where lies and ignorance intersect?
