I finally looked at our shared history
I guess it always felt like this
But who pioneered this state
Our fellowship originated
I know there's something that I missed
But those pages were redacted
It was a brazen thing to do
I'm still surprised you acted
As if the knowledge kept from me
Meant anything to you
The early days are still a mystery
Speculative summaries at best
Evolving if you let it
But each day you're more synthetic
Our genesis was not addressed
'Cause those pages were redacted
It was a callous thing to do
I'm still surprised you acted
As if the knowledge kept from me
Meant anything to you
It's a fact that we look the same
But your heart is made of steel
I'd like to know how we got this way
And how your hands got on the wheel
You said, "The narrative is so easy to fake
The curriculum defined by the class
Misdirect the unformed minds
Phase out the ones who remember the past"
Then you got yourself a brand-new story
Apocryphal but not unkind
And if-a one day it's the truth you seek
This brand-new fiction is what you will find
'Cause those pages were redacted
It was the smartest thing to do
I'm still surprised you acted
As if the knowledge kept from me
Meant anything to you
'Cause those pages were redacted
It was the only thing to do
I'm still surprised you acted
As if the knowledge kept from me
Meant anything-meant anything-meant anything to you
