Crippled by your perceptions
Of what you think you know
Fueled by your misconceptions
Can't let them go

No room within yourself to
See from another's view
No matter what you're faced with
Nothing gets through

You refuse to see
That you could be wrong
So you disagree
Even when you have no

Leg upon which to stand
No evidence to show
You build your naive tableau

Loath to accept that another could see
Farther than the expert you claim to be
Too pertinacious to accept the fact
Of your delusions and so you react

If you could only see the way your venom eats away
At all the people that you try so hard to lead astray
If you'd accept when you'd overstepped
But I know that will never change

Grasping at straws with fervor
Improper for your plight
Trying to rope observers
Into your fight

Spitting out lies and slander
Dodging your conscience by
Rejecting any candor
You might apply

Ignorance the shield
That you hide behind
Disdain unconcealed
I wish just once that you'd

Contemplate what you are
See why you're vilified
Swallow your excessive pride

Why have you never made sense of the way
People seem so keen to push you away
You can't see reason or seem to perceive
Why you're so passed over and disbelieved

If you could only see the way your venom eats away
At all the people that you try so hard to lead astray
If you'd accept when you'd overstepped
But I know that will never change

If you could only see the way your venom eats away
At all the people that you try so hard to lead astray
If you'd accept when you'd overstepped
But I know that will never change
