Blind
Do you realize how you fool yourself?
Living each day in a personal hell
On this wall the mirror reflects
Release your soul as it collects
Staring into cracks, you want to believe
But it's yourself that you can't see
It's a d*mn shame you never even knew
You're living in a world that's lying to you
You're crying and you're dying
And you don't know what to do
You made it so far, but now you have to lose
So say goodbye
Say goodbye
You're out of time
So silent, why?
You wretched mime
Living a lie
A victim to the crime
Now it's time
To say goodbye
It's hard to face reality
When you just want this so bad
You want to get a taste of something
That you've never had
If this becomes your addiction
In the end you'll hate yourself
'Cause by the time it's done
You will be driven f*ck*ng mad
When it looks too good to be true
Maybe it's not right for you
Deny the facts if it's what you choose
But eventually you're gonna lose
Search for answers until you find
This is what you see when you go blind
And you're blind
Say goodbye
You're out of time
So silent, why?
You wretched mime
Living a lie
A victim to the crime
Now it's time
To say goodbye
Goodbye
