The Blind

Shine the light into my eyes
Blind me with your ignorance
Show me every failure
Every tragedy I’ve caused
Shine the light into my eyes
So I can see that I have you down
If you’re the only one that matters
I guess I can’t complain
Shine the light into my eyes
Tell me how I have to change
Show me how I had it better than you
And how I’ll never know your pain
Shine your light in my blind eyes
It doesn’t help, I still can’t see
Tell me why I even try
If you’ll always be better than me
With my head beneath the ground
I can see it all so clear
I will always let you down
But I will always be here
Shine the light into my eyes
Show me color in this grey
Paint the world around me picture perfect
So there is nothing I can say
Shine your light in my blind eyes
It’s doesn’t help, I still can’t see
Tell me why I even try
When you’ll always be better than me
Have I made my mark on this grey world
Shone a light into the heart of the things I’ve left behind
I want to go back
You know I do
But I can’t change what happened to you
And I can’t carry this cross any longer
I built it with my own two hands
I sealed it with my lack of strength
And I collapse beneath it’s weight again and again
With my head beneath the ground
I can see it all so clear
I will always let you down
But I will always be here
