Do I need to remind you?
It don't take no fool to know a fool
I know what you're thinking
You're thinking I think I know everything
I'm choking on words I can't say
They're filling my throat and it's killing me

From the white in my eyes
To the black of my soul lies
A different kind of cold

Time is pregnant, I'm asleep
The rhythm of a world unseen
Is drowning just beneath the feet
Of greedy men as they throw seeds
Into the God forsaken mud
Producing machinery filled with blood
Propaganda's children we become
Reprimanded, damned, and thrown in cuffs
Because everybody is doing time
Whether county jail or 9 to 5
If you're sound asleep or dead alive
If you're popping pills or taking bribes
It seems everyone is too drugged to see
The black face judge, his pedo-priest
The neighbor's kids with bloody sleeves
'cause medicine is our new disease
And I don't even know
If I can even think for myself anymore
Yea I don't know
If I'm alive asleep or in between
And I don't even know
If I can even call myself myself no more
Yea I don't know
'cause I don't know what I don't know
If I don't know what I don't know
Do I need to remind you?
You don't need to be righteous to know this is wrong
My empathy is shrinking
My hips are beginning to miss your embrace
I'm choking on words I can't say
They're filling my throat and it's killing me

From the white in my eyes
To the black of my soul lies
A different kind of cold

I don't need to fall down as much as you do
To know that the ground ain't only there to break my fall

I built this town up from the bayou
And you will drown if you decide to step outside my law

Yea teacher man, preacher man, ma & pa
You better start running before they teach you how to crawl

From the white in my eyes
To the black of my soul lies
A different kind of cold
