You Don't Know
dubstep, reggae groove, female vocals, distorted bass, syncopated snare ghosting, half-time drop, call and response hooks, stacked harmonies, plate reverb, analog saturation, sidechain pumping, breakdown build-ups, gritty guitar riffs, sub-bass impacts, 95 BPM, sparse verse dense chorus, catchy dance beat with variation so not repetitive, groovy, psychedelic

Lyrics
So much is left unsaid.
Saying goodbye is all that's left.
Did you ever love me, you asked.
Silly question. You know I did.
I guess you needed to hear it.
But you never wait
For my full answer.
Half of it I relay,
& you already know the rest .../
Before I can say anything else.
chorus
But you don't know any of this
Cuz you hung up before I could say it.
You don't know any of this
Cuz you do all the talking
Before I can explain it.
You don't know any of this
Cuz your made up answers
Keep you safest. .../
Or so you think.
This relationship wasn't with me,
Was it?
How, when your insecurities .../
Fill in my blanks with lies?
My body---a sarcophagus cover .../
Housing a made up lover,
A queen too good for you.
You put words in her mouth
But never see me spit them out
Cuz you don't stick around. .../
Long enough.
The truth is too scary.
You fill empty air with noise.
You make up your lies
So you can avoid .../
Hearing what's real from me.
It's a shame really.
Everything's harder than need be.
I guess Godd once again
Saves me from me .../
By letting you sabotage everything.
Chorus
But you can't know any of this
Cuz you hung up before I could say it.
You can't know any of this
Cuz you do all the talking
Before I can explain it.
You can't know any of this
Cuz your made up answers
Keep you safest. .../
Or so you think.
See, if you do all the talking,
How could you know I'm still here .../
Cuz I'm curious to see if it's a possibility,
To fall back in love with you, my dear.
Given time & your effort, who knows?
Maybe the man I met might reappear.
You don't see
The words you shoved into me,
Splattered at your feet
Cuz they're disgusting .../
& nothing .../
Like what the real me has to say .../
But you wouldn't know that
Unless you deign to listen to it one day.
Wounded wants me to pick up the phone and call.
But Tall doesn't understand the point.
Wounded wants to explain it all.
Small asks, "What's that gonna do?"
Tall agrees, "It'll be the same dead end
Ws always come to."
So nothing at all is what I'm going to do
And let you figure it out for yourself.
End Chorus
But you won't know any of this
Cuz now I've chosen not to say it.
You won't know any of this
Cuz you do all the talking
And I'm not going to explain it.
You won't know any of this
Cuz your made up answers
Keep you safest. .../
Now there's nothing
That's going to change it.
