Lyrics

SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER
Songwriter: Bren Tamanoon


The fault was drawn before I chose to see
Gold dust hiding underneath debris
I touched the edge like it was meant for me
And called the wound belief

Your voice was velvet wrapped around a blade
Every truth arrived already staged
I wore the lie like it was custom-made
And let it carve my name

Don’t tell me now
It was clear
I saw the sign
But stayed near

I fed the future
To my pride
I should have known better
Before the dark looked dignified

Should have known better
Cold like a crown on my skull
I kept walking forward
Past the point where vision dulls

Should have known better
Sharp like a kiss from a null
I kept walking forward
Past the point where vision dulls

(Should have known better)
You saw it long before me
I called disaster “holy”
I kept walking forward
Past the point where vision dulls
I kept walking forward
Past the point where vision dulls

The sky rehearsed the fall in silent code
Lightning writing what I wouldn’t know
I drank the storm like something sacred, slow
And called it self-control

Every door I loved was lined with gold
Rust beneath the surface I ignored
I kissed the lock and entered just to fall
And signed my name to all

Don’t say it now
I was blind
I saw the truth
Then changed my mind

I chose the fever
Over calm
I should have known better eh eh
Before the dream became a bomb

Should have known better
Cold like a crown on my skull
I kept walking forward
Past the point where vision dulls

Should have known better
Sharp like a kiss from a null
I kept walking forward
Past the point where vision dulls

(Should have known better)
You saw it long before me
I called disaster “holy”
I kept walking forward
Past the point where vision dulls
I kept walking forward
Past the point where vision dulls

Look what my hunger did to me
I called the knife a prophecy
How loud does truth have to be
Before it feels like certainty?
You dressed the danger in design
I wore it like a holy sign
How far does someone have to fall
Before they feel nothing at all?

Should have known better
Cold like a crown on my skull
I kept walking forward
Past the point where vision dulls

Should have known better
Sharp like a kiss from a null
I kept walking forward
Past the point where vision dulls

Keep walking forward
Keep walking forward
Keep walking forward slo,,,,ow
Come closer now wooah
Come closer now oh oh oh

I kept walking forward
Past the point where vision dulls
