Ren
Blind Eyed
[Chorus: Sam Tompkins]
This lighter don't work, no
No flame to spark my goal
My Nike's laced in dirt, oh
I've ended up treading on my own soul

[Verse 1: Sam Tompkins]
My headphone's only working on the left side
But I try to live the right life
My eyes wide and I strive
To stop my demons gripping, ripping from the inside
This road is dark and I can't find the batteries for my flashlight
I'm blind-eyed and I'm tired

[Chorus: Ren]
These drugs don't work
The pain, it takes control
A blood-stained shirt
I feel like I'm always being chased by the devil

[Verse 2: Ren]
I tried to talk but I can't seem to get my spoken words right
And I t-t-t-t-t-t-try to keep my stutter light
And this life it can be ish right, cut you like a flick knife
Twist and make you sick right
And I think, maybe I'll be better off alone
So I redirect the calls from my phone
I learned so many lessons from depression
But in essence, I'm just wishing that these bad thoughts were gone
[Bridge: Sam Topkins]
I'm blind eyed
I'm blind eyed
I'm blind eyed

[Verse 3: Ren]
Sometimes I bleed, sometimes I crawl, sometimes I slip, sometimes I fall
Sometimes my back is up against the wall so hard that whole building could fall
Sometimes I bruise, sometimes I break, sometimes I'm true, sometimes I'm fake
Sometimes I'm hoping for a moment when the floor would just start opening and swallow me, for goodness sake
I think I'm gonna break 'cause I ache and it's bait, I'm awake in a world full of pain, Superman, no cape
And I'm pressing the breaks but the breaks, they break and I'm driving my universe into a lake
And the weight, the weight of the world, don't wait
We make mistakes when it's all at stake
We cook our cake, we eat our cake, sometimes no time for double takes but
That’s just the way life goes sometimes
But I don't want to end up in the gutter being battered by my troubles
Face down in the puddle where the Sun don't shine
So I'm coming and giving it back upon the track and attacking 'em
Stacking up beats like I did with this one I pack it in
And I'm praying, oh Lord, take this pain away
