The Blind - System Syn

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
