REDACTED

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
