Blind

I have never seen a face
so lost inside a masquerade
have you ever faced the truth
Somehow these years were cruel
Still so young yet you lost your youth
Close your eyes to get a better view
Can’t you see that you pull the strings
Til life falls apart at the seam
You live and you lust
Been betrayed by trust
Yet somehow you’re blind to see
Your sojourn tears have lost their touch,
maybe you’ve tried just a bit too much
the test of time has turned the other way
Your mind’s illusions come and go
from the brightest spark to the dullest glow
but they don’t tell you anything that you don’t know
Can’t you see that you pull the strings
Til life falls apart at the seam
You live and you lust
Been betrayed by trust
Yet somehow you’re blind to see
