Slip into ignorance to keep me warm
Slip into poverty to, to keep me numb
It's all that we ever need, human flesh to feed on
Sober and dumb

Slip into ignorance to keep them smiling
I am a jester at best
Forsake what I know to be honesty for a smidgen of fame
I'm the one to blame
Always overcompensating
This eagerness grating upon your ears
