I Should Know
by Morgan Foster

Seems like my timing’s always been off
This path I know all too well
I stop for a moment to track my progress
And the bricks of reality make this cell

The crushable weight of humanity drags me down
makes me doubt
Holds me accountable
Don’t want to put forth the effort to live with or without
Something to hold through it all

Chorus
Tired of stasis, desire more
But in the end we stand alone
Passion to do, passion to prevent
Is there meaning, or have I made meaning?
I know (x4)

Wanting something to be real or right
I just want it all to be okay
My hands are stronger then they were before
But what’s the point of climbing in this place

The crushable weight of your vanity drags me down makes me doubt
Shows me that nothing is new
Dead end, two turns, what I wish and what I fear
But know is true

I know
I should know
By now, I should know
