Shatter Me, My Ignorance

i knew what you meant,
and i knew that you meant it,
and i know that you hate me,
and that i cant stand it,

i said to myself,
"you live in such a dream world,
such a white middle class schoolgirl,
with nothing but nothing in your head"
if ignorance is bliss,
than ill be happy forever,
and i'm sick of it,

i want to have the possiblity,
of maybe seeing you today,
and talking about our reality,
that we have, but we never seemed to see,

i want to know why we have such tunnel vision,
when the world around us is so beautiful,
and why cant we find completion,
when the missing pieces to our puzzle,
are scattered all around,
why do we sit and group each other,
and always look down upon another,
when we should be looking down upon ourselves,
why cant we be happy with who we are,
and why we do things that cause pain,
i dont know, sometimes the answers
are to far away to explain,

and when your down and out,
and theres no one left but yourself to blame,
you'll say to yourself

"you live in such a dream world,
such a white middle class schoolgirl,
with nothing but nothing in your head"
if ignorance is bliss,
than ill be happy forever,
and i'm sick of this,

shatter me, my ignorance,
and show me what i am,
show me what i feel,
and all ive said,
just to seem more real,
shatter me, my ignorance,
and show me what the world means,
shatter me, my ignorance,
and show myself, me,

i want to know why we have such tunnel vision,
when the world around us is so beautiful,
and why cant we find completion,
when the missing pieces to our puzzle,
are scattered all around,
why do we sit and group each other,
and always look down upon another,
when we should be looking down upon ourselves,

i said to myself,
"you live in such a dream world,
such a white middle class schoolgirl,
with nothing but nothing in your head"
if ignorance is bliss,
than ill be happy forever,
and i'm sick of this,
so shatter me, my ignorance.
