Knowing Before I Knew

Bring forth the subject gagged and bound I can unravel more about you in two seconds than a lifetime worth of research Beautiful, ugly, whatever the outcome may be just learn from it Knowing before knowing and taking more from the blue deck Make me the benefactor of lost knowledge and an unbridled consciousness Lavish set of instincts I’ve acquired through personal gain Help me bleed you more quickly if that’s even the right choice of words for this moment I’m the counter clock movement in this one way relationship the eavesdropper at the dinner table butting in on your conversation telling you what the future holds Now you’ll want more from the red deck as the perspiration bewilders your palms You knew before you knew that I knew what you knew Follow my bread crumb trail of indecisive parameters a glorious new way of thinking has poured itself through my veins fresh isn’t the way to describe it, it’s too old for this fancy ice age Tell me what you know before you know it please tell me all you’ve seen, before you’ve seen it blink once or twice, give me a call sign push the white out of your looks cause it’s blocking the right choice Raise the sign you’re fully aware that I’ve been scanning the light that cascades in your eyes finding a way back home to the answer
