The Cost of Knowing
The Cost of Knowing
male vocals, gritty, hip hop, rhythmic
Doubt and Groove
funky, hip hop, jazzy, jazz
Never Hungered to Be Known
country, acoustic, melodic
Why do people long to be understood,
While I never cared if anyone could?
Not for praise, nor for words that please —
I’m searching for depth, not surface ease.
Of course I care how I’m seen,
But I still do what I believe.
Even in doubt, I choose what’s true —
Not betraying me, that’s what I do.
I question all, I trust in none,
Till I test it myself, till it’s undone.
Even then, I doubt what I see —
Truth must be burned into me.
Is it stubbornness or something more?
To crave the pain, to crave the war?
Willing to pay for what I find —
I trade my peace for a certain mind.
A soul alchemist, tearing lies apart,
Letting real fire light my heart.
When it hurts, that’s when I know —
What breaks was never mine to hold.
I question all, I trust in none,
Till I test it myself, till it’s undone.
Even then, I doubt what I see —
Truth must be burned into me.
I’ve never hungered to be known,
That thirst was never mine to own.
I speak, I feel, I simply be—
No need for anyone to agree.
