Still Don't Understand

about

Song 10, written and recorded on February 10, 2022.

A, sort of, anti anti-intellectualism song. How did it become a thing to aim for stupid?

Guild Starfire VI, Yamaha YC organ, Tama Club Jam, Rickenbacker 4003s Bass.

lyrics

I want to know how you sleep at night
With the lies you tell yourself
What makes you think you're right?
When you can't even stand the sight of anything different
Or when the truth is right in front of your eyes

You want to believe that everything you think
Is how the world is, because you can't understand
You want to hide as many of your lies
Because it makes you feel big
But you still don't understand

You scream at the world because you are afraid
Of the truth that faces you everyday
So you cover your eyes and bury your head in the sand

Is how the world is, because you can't understand
You want to hide as many of your lies
Because it makes you feel big
But you still don't understand

Why are you so afraid of everything and everyone around you?
All the things you hate really define you
They show the world who you really are

I want to know how you can sleep at night
With the lies you tell yourself
What makes you think you're right?
When you can't even stand the sight of everything
That's different
Or when the truth is right in front of your eyes

You want to believe that everything you think is how the world is
But you live in fear
