I Know Lyrics
Gone for a while
And then blink and revile
My old habits get confused.
They've been placating my mood
And selling me cheap solitude
But I've run out of reasons to pay.
Cause' I know you care
And I've grown so tired of not being there.
And I know you care
So I'm cutting off familiar happenings.
Conjuring up my melancholy
No that can't go on.
Certain my sadness was necessary
Oh I've been so wrong.
And all that distance that I dispatch won't ever help me feel less alone.
Stop all that dark and senseless brooding
Sing a different song.
Don't get dramatic, this ain't the movies,
Turn the camera off.
Yeah, all that acting seemed fun at first
But I've been playing this role for too long.
Conjuring up our melancholy
No that can't go on.
Certain our sadness was necessary
Oh we've been so wrong.
And all that distance that we dispatch won't ever help us feel less alone.
Stop all that dark and senseless brooding
Sing a different song.
Don't get dramatic, this ain't the movies,
Turn the camera off.
Yeah, all that acting seemed fun at first
But we've been playing this role for too long.
And then blink and revile
My old habits get confused.
They've been placating my mood
And selling me cheap solitude
But I've run out of reasons to pay.
And I've grown so tired of not being there.
And I know you care
So I'm cutting off familiar happenings.
No that can't go on.
Certain my sadness was necessary
Oh I've been so wrong.
And all that distance that I dispatch won't ever help me feel less alone.
Sing a different song.
Don't get dramatic, this ain't the movies,
Turn the camera off.
Yeah, all that acting seemed fun at first
But I've been playing this role for too long.
No that can't go on.
Certain our sadness was necessary
Oh we've been so wrong.
And all that distance that we dispatch won't ever help us feel less alone.
Sing a different song.
Don't get dramatic, this ain't the movies,
Turn the camera off.
Yeah, all that acting seemed fun at first
But we've been playing this role for too long.

Why are there no comments!? This is a really good song.
I like this song... so very true - it makes me happy
What's the point in these ciggarettes? I temporarily feel better- but in the end i'm inspiring the mood of melancholy. come to think of it, i've never had a reason to be sad. never had a reason to mourn or dwell on something false and so non-exsistent. I need to stop acting.
that's what i think when i listen to this song.
This song is a perfect ending track for the record. A very common theme throughout most of DATH songs is the artist struggling with his psychological problems and the affects they have on the people he cares about. This song is his epiphany, hence the song title "I Know".
Cause' I know you care And I've grown so tired of not being there. And I know you care So I'm cutting off familiar happenings.
He realizes that his old habits of thinking have caused him to become emotionally disconnected and distant from the world around him.
Certain my sadness was necessary Oh I've been so wrong. And all that distance that I dispatch won't ever help me feel less alone.
As he becomes frustrated with his mind, he is desperately seeking a change.
Stop all that dark and senseless brooding Sing a different song.
Such a great way to end the album. The ending of it with all the gang vocals makes me so happy.

When I first heard this song, I took it like DATH was making fun of themselves and all their depressing lyrics and happenings. It's brilliant, and it was the perfect ender for the album. =]
