BLIND

I should've seen it coming I spent my whole life running from the very prospect of loving 'Cause in the end you get nothing In truth, I knew it was fake I got a nose for bluffing Once again I'm damned by my eagerness to put hope in something What a sad world Filled with dreadful irony and games Why the fuck my lessons always gotta be from pain? How I'm back to building after how far I done came No one told me just how much you lose from trying to gain Cautionary tale, this is feeling like some folklore Feelings up for sale, I don't wanna do this no more Doing all the work busy righting all my wrongs No one cared to listen, so I write in my songs I feel like my weakness is that I'm too fucking strong It's easy to get lost when you don't feel like you belong I guess I've been misreading the signs I pray that I'll have better luck when I'm blind When I'm blind Take my hand and guide me Lord, will You provide me Solace as I take this ride? (Eyes open, eyes on the prize) What I feel inside me Never will deny me Out of sight and out of mind Or am I out of time? (Yeah) I wanna believe the way it should be is when you Start to perceive you 'bout to conceive And after that if you work hard enough, you bound to achieve You make it out, but what would happen if you found a new dream? 'Cause I thought mine was words, living off being heard Feeling love via likes, had my name in the lights Booking regular flights, do incredible shows Spend the end of my nights getting head from some hoes And that's how it goes until the tragic death of me Now I realize none of that has ever been what's best for me If you want destruction then that's certainly the recipe Built a new perspective by creating my own destiny If I get to choose then I'm curating the vibes, so I don't fuck with anybody 'less they with the tribe We only do this once, so let's make this shit divine 'Cause crazy how your clarity can come at a time When all your movement is blind Take my hand and guide me Lord, will You provide me Solace as I take this ride? (Eyes open, eyes on the prize) What I feel inside me Never will deny me Out of sight and out of mind Or am I out of time? Cautionary tale, this is feeling like some folklore Feelings up for sale, I don't wanna do this no more Doing all the work busy righting all my wrongs No one cared to listen, so I write in my songs I feel like my weakness is that I'm too fucking strong It's easy to get lost when you don't feel like you belong I guess I've been misreading the signs I pray that I'll have better luck when I'm blind When I'm blind Take my hand and guide me Lord, will You provide me Solace as I take this ride? (Eyes open, eyes on the prize) What I feel inside me Never will deny me Out of sight and out of mind Or am I out of time?
