Didn't You Know
by
Shannon Billings
Didn’t you know
that none of this is real
Didn’t you know
that none of us can feel
Didn’t you know
we will never succeed
Didn’t you know
it’s a hunger we can’t feed
Didn’t you know
we don’t deserve a thing
Didn’t you know
we deserved what we got
Didn’t you know...
you should’ve known
Couldn’t you see
It’s all just make-believe
Couldn’t you hear
The truth in the fear
No you couldn’t see
And you didn’t know
The truth from make-believe
You didn’t hear
You couldn’t find
The truth in the fear
Or the scream in her mind
You should’ve known
...why didn’t you know
