Acknowledge lyrics

[Verse 1]

You can convince anyone in the animal kingdom

That they are worth anything more

Then a pitiful threat of some freedom

Depleted the energy war

Swore in the empathy lesion the cut

Only gets deeper than what

Has ever been thought or imagined by man

Whatever it is, forever it's not, I've been here before

I do what I can

I do this with no specific motive, intention or over dramatic

Mess of a message that's hidden above and beyond

The human perception yet to accept the damage

Of what's done is what's done

But for now I release a sigh for the sky

The young never hung high enough to get their attention

Acknowledge his presence and it will make his day complete

Worth sharing with the others that he prays would fade away for free

The cost of living is a wish well spent

Still in debt, to the death no friend could ever mend or understand

And...

[Hook]

All he ever wanted was for someone to acknowledge his opinion

But they laughed and called him idiot

How is he to gain the confidence needed to move on?

To move on, to move on

I said...

All he ever wanted was for someone to acknowledge his opinion

But they laughed and called him idiot

How is he to gain the confidence needed to move on?

To move on, to move on

[Verse 2]

They claimed he left too big a space between what he was trying to express

And what he actually felt dead

It's too bad they never gave him a second chance to get that out so (Love life)

He shoved it in instead

Placebo effect burn chemical blade

Brain trained to convert into a measurable slave

Naked tool of the trade feel special as amuse-able faith

Computed to abuse and prove pleasurable gain

Reign kingdom come till king come clean

My single cell amoeba, love, hug, aims supreme

I figure I can still dream without a blindfold wrapped clear

Ring around the rosy blush cheeks, make the fact theory

I act dear 'cause I want to, besides

I can see the ghost of past fear that haunts you

Tap dance off beat kept trapped behind your eyes

Soft won't you stop, comply off the beaten path I won't come close to

I hope you're still here with me

Please don't doubt my intention

It's a bit smeared, dizzy breathe

There's a time for everyone to come to terms with the reality tunnel

That bubbles up burn cuddle up

Concerned with his well being

Tell me something I don't know

Aware of where he's going but not sure where I will go

I want to know how I care

Compare and control is not the issue

I can finally see it's never fair

[Hook]

All he ever wanted was for someone to acknowledge his opinion

But they laughed and called him idiot

How is he to gain the confidence needed to move on?

To move on, to move on

I said...

All he ever wanted was for someone to acknowledge his opinion

But they laughed and called him idiot

How is he to gain the confidence needed to move on?

To move on, to move on
