Island of Ignorance

Leave hesitation so far behind you
You inhibition could never shine through
When all your filters go out the window
Your disposition will make itself known

Say goodbye to things you thought you'd known
Take the time to see how much you've grown

Don't you hold your breath
Keep breathing, if need be
Say these words aloud to yourself

You're just a product of what you've been through
This bias logic is what compels you
There's no denying the miles on your shoes
But you'll describe it from such a dark view

Say goodbye to things you'd thought you'd learned
Take the time to see bridges you've burned

Don't you hold your breath
Keep breathing, if need be
Say these words aloud to yourself

We're trapped on ignorance isle
Go on, sit down
Let it sink in for a while
We're trapped on ignorance isle
The only way out is to see the world through other's eyes

This contemplation living inside you
Comes to fruition whenever you choose
To make decisions, or do what you'll do
And not consider the lives around you

Say goodbye to lessons you've been shown
If you will not apply them when you're grown

Don't you hold your breath
Keep breathing, if need be
Say these words aloud to yourself
Don't you fold to stress
Keep breathing, if need be
Chant these words aloud to yourself

We're trapped on ignorance isle
Go on, sit down
Let it sink in for a while
We're trapped on ignorance isle
The only way out is to see the world through other's eyes

If we can just step outside our own pride
Be allowed to speak our minds without the fight
What could this world be like in our lifetime
If we didn't just ourselves by our outsides

So, in conclusion, this story's moral
Is such a tough pill, or most to swallow
But if you're like me
Your guts have hardened
From all the garbage that people will part with

Say goodbye to life without a care
And cling to the youth that got us there
