Ignorance is bliss, is it not Joshua
Maybe your loose lips don't know past Dakota
But you go to school, so you can be
Another fool for society
All this time that you waste
Tell me, how did the blue pill taste
You preach to me your ways all day
Then at night beseech me stay
Perhaps you only project your thoughts
But then why do you protect what's wrong
Don't go and act so innocent
And act like you've read, all that there is to know
You don't truly understand you just play pretend
And then go on with the show
Ignorance is bliss, is it not Joshua
Maybe your loose lips don't know past Dakota
But you go to school, so you can be
Another fool for society
All this time that you waste
Tell me, when will you show your face
If conscious ignorance is a crime
Then you're doing life, without even knowing
How is it that you live your life, a
Soulless lie, without even showing
I wouldn't even care for you thoughts
Live your life where you're lost
And keep going into this abyss
But you had to have your say
Won't you get away, and live your life in ignorance
Ignorance is bliss, is it not Joshua
Maybe your loose lips don't know past Dakota
But you go to school, so you can be
Another fool for society
All this time that you waste
Tell me, when will you show your face
You don't understand the weight of this situation
You just stay at home and have your little hallucinations
Words flow forth from your mouth, like gasoline at a station
Combustible and weighing too much for good intentions
Ignorance is bliss, is it not Joshua
Maybe your loose lips don't know past Dakota
But you go to school, so you can be
Another fool for society
All this time that you waste
Tell me, when did you lose your place
(All this time that you waste
Tell me, when did you lose your place)
Joshua, he follows all the rules
Joshua, just another fool

My name is Samuel Wittmayer. When I was 16 years old I decided that I wanted to start writing music. A year later I met with
a producer to record my first song. That was the start of a four and a half year journey to create my debut album 'Red Hands'. For a long time I was unsure if this project would ever see it's completion, but now that it has it feels surreal. Please enjoy!...more

“Chaos Wonderland” is an expansive, probing album that weds the shimmering approach of psych rock to cinematic Britpop at its best. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 23, 2020
