Ignorance is bliss, honey

Take the slip and shake the lisp because no one likes awkward conversation
Caught up in life and love and pursuits of happiness hence your declaration
That all isn't well and all isn't true but you push along to the song
The voices in your head all say it's just another wretched game

You throw the dice and push advice right out the door, on the floor
Simply because you cannot face the choices you swore anymore
On top of that is ragged love that you don't want, you don't respond
And hope to God no one notices the face you make when you're out in the world, just a thought

Honest unappreciated in the world of today, the masquerade
You tell the truth and it's a stretch to someone as farfetched as he
One you love and one you hate but both for the wrong reasons as of late
He lets you in but he ignores the doors you open for his poor, poor self

Another day, another lie to yourself, to your health
Repression isn't like repentance, it doesn't emit a feeling
And here in these moments define your life but you don't want to believe it
Because ignorance is bliss, honey, and you're drowning in it
