(set to "he say she say" by lupe fiasco)

you acted
because you thought
that's how the world
that you know
works

you responded
by escaping from
yourself
because it wasn't safe

what you noticed
that others didn't
were lies
you were making things up
or
you read things ahead of time

no
i just had this feeling
that i knew
what was going on

and i want that back

because it was so much more effective
when i was a child
