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
