How Was I Supposed To Know? Songtext
I can't help but dig my heels in wherever I go
Fashion a purgatory from my heavenly bones
Swear I find the sun in dull fluorescent glow
Anything is warm when you are frozen cold
I dreamt up a kingdom on unsteady ground
Filled the cracks with lavender and watered down
The taste of consequentialism 'til I drowned
Bating borrowed breath to find a way around

I thought I thought I thought it through
I thought, I thought it through

How was I supposed to know?
How was I supposed to know?
Stars in my eyes and trembling
My self-inflicted reckoning
How was I supposed to know?

Chalk it up to well-intended vanity
To cancel out thе noise with my own revelry
Cashing chеap excuses and apologies
Gilding all my ruins, too afraid to leave

I thought I thought I thought it through
I thought I thought it through

How was I supposed to know?
How was I supposed to know?
Stars in my eyes and trembling
My self inflicted reckoning
How was I supposed to know?

Coming to terms with the obvious
Ripped myself apart for an audience
And hung out to dry for the taking
No, no amount of ignorance could save me
Swore I was taking the high road
Crossing my heart with my eyes closed
Oh, so much for wanting to do right
My all-white satin bloodied from the dog fight
I have to live with the ashes
Knowing that I let it happen
By overlooking the undertones
I tried my best, so
How was I supposed to know?
