[k]NO[w] Better

Do what you do, keyboard warrior. 
Anything to feel superior. 
Sing to your own chamber echoing. 
Deny the truth that you’re burying.

You are no better than me. 
I’m no better than you. 
No better.

Misery, it loves company. More the merrier. 
Redefine our dividing lines. Build your barriers. 
Scream to yourself. Such a lonely life. 
There’s no one else that can set it right.

You are no better than me. 
I’m no better than you. 
We are no better than anyone. 
We all should know better than this. 
[K]no[w] better.

This oppressive déjà vu. 
Never thought it’d come from you. 
High and mighty. How’s the view? 
Farther to fall, and more to lose. 
Feet are firmly on the ground. 
I’ll meet you when you make it down. 
Spoken over, pushed around. 
You are just one of us now. 

You are no better than me. 
I’m no better than you. 
We are no better than anyone. 
We all should know better than this. 
[K]no[w] better.
