the knowledge of sleep doesn't make you tired
the knowledge of danger doesn't protect you
the knowledge of love doesn't make you feel the same
the knowledge of progress doesn't move you forward
the knowledge of the sun doesn't make you see some light
the knowledge of your confused life doesn't clear it
the knowledge of your illness doesn't cure it
the knowledge of your nasty thoughts doesn't hide them
the knowledge of revenge doesn't calm you down
the knowledge of your suicidal being doesn't ease it
the knowledge of your past doesn't change it
the knowledge of a future doesn't lift the fog
the knowledge of the words doesn't make you yell
the knowledge that you're down doesn't bring you up
the knowledge of one true friend would make me smile

to be is more than just to know
