Know Me Lyrics - Bread & Circus - Toad The Wet Sprocket

Should I have believed I was still a boy 

Naive and sane, protected wholly 

Tongue-tied and restless 

Breathing of futures 

Know meI am not a child 

'Though you have age 

You have not felt the pain 

Should I have remained obedient and docile 

So far restrained 

The hands that hold me back 

Could break my bones 

As each one snaps 

I hate my home 

Far on my way 

I should know, I was born here 

Know me 

Am I just some fool? Am I far from ready? 

Just let me fall and I'll believe you 

Chained up and pampered I strain until I crack 

Know me before you kill what I want to be 

And leave me cold 

Bled white 

And feeling old 

Far on my way 

I should know, I was born here 

Know me 

Know all I am 

Far on my way 

I was cold then I exploded 

Know me
