I Know Enough

My thoughts swing back and forth
Uncertain and incoherent
I wonder and dream and imagine
Aiming too high and arrogant
I speak with intelligence
Perhaps with too much sense
Too much wisdom for my age
Can I help what I've seen? (I've seen)
I'm on alert and cautious
Watching for a sign
The smell of blood no longer nauseous
I wait for what is sure to come (To come)

I'm regretful and filled with fear
Watching what I listen to and what I hear
Did you think I was born yesterday? (Yesterday?)

I know enough to live my life
I know enough to live in strife
I know enough to pick up a knife
I know enough to end a life

It's what I really want to do
To end this being called you
You/'ve made me an adult beyond my age
And yet, I'm still treated as a child
Give me a break for a while
Don't you ever get sick of making me sick?
Don't you get tired of making me so tired?
Give me time to heal
Give time to be real again

I know enough of this life to live
I know enough to take a dive
I know enough to be intuitive
I know enough to act a dream
I know enough to know it's not as it seems

And I know
I know
And I know enough to no longer want to live

For you, I'm telling you
Because of you
Because of you, I'm telling you
Because of you
