E. K. E.

How could it be that everyone knows everything
When they haven't even bothered asking me?
What could they possibly know unless they hear me speak?

They know you doubt yourself far more than someone else
But they can see the heart of it is bullshit
And if you want to quit, then you should leave

Key cracking always happens
When knee-jerk reactions make you want to hide
Where you can fortify
Fasten latches, batten hatches
The wolves are scratching at your door, don't hide
You wanna let 'em inside

Does it feel like I don't know anything?

My blinders on, speeding towards a half dollar
Already silver to show
The shell is cooling but the core is getting hotter
No telling when it will explode

You often ask yourself when you're with someone else
What do they see?
And after all the bullshit, am I the filament or filigree?

So when knee-jerk reactions make you want to die
Right there, you fortify
Just loosen latches, open hatches
The wolves are always howling from inside
But, now, they're mummified
