It's the best route in the motel from the nights that came before
when I can't tell what my money's paying for
As the sky light up to go
never down nor up to go
Things I'd rather never know
It's the tall height of a bumpy flight and the pass of the taste
or a stage fright that gives me shaking knees
It's the worry everyone stows
sometimes it's hard to let go
of things I'd rather never know
It's my unknown
it's my dismiss
Some call ignorance, I call a little bliss
It's how are you's to and from
the things I'd rather never know
A long trip on a space ship of never rocks around the sun
I stay here to get a better grip on this world
Closed doors to keyholes to back rooms you can't go
Things I'd rather never know
It's my unknown
it's my dismiss
Some call ignorance, I call a little bliss
It's how are you's to and from
things I'd rather never know
It's not that I
it's not that I
it's not that I
don't wonder sometimes
Did I try?
Did I try?
But I tried to keep my head a place I'll bring my mind to
On the doorstep of my last breath and how's it gonna end
Was it real or was it all pretend?
With this needle and thread that I sow
a blanket and a pillow
of things I'd rather never know
Things I'd rather never know
It's my unknown
it's my dismiss
Some call ignorance, I call a little bliss
It's how are you's, to and from
things I'd rather never know
things I'd rather never know
things I'd rather never know
The things I'd rather never know
