“Blindfolds”

Blindfolds aside, we’re destined to fall
We’re cut from the same damned cloth
And you had the shears.
Even as we fell
Even as we cried
I caught a glimpse
A precious, cherished, gift
It was your smile
A radiant spark
My Blindfolds aside,
I saw my world
In one fleeting moment
And I thought you did too
But you choose to lie

We looked in the mirror
Blindfolded
We counted to nine
I pulled my Blindfolds aside
Found Aries in the sky
And looked myself in the eyes
But you seduced yourself
Fell into the gaze of darkened reprise
We looked in the mirror, together
Together we cried
But you choose to lie

Now it’s
DAYBREAK
Planting stakes across the range
Frigid degrees
I can’t breathe

You justify why you waste my time
But you won’t tell me what you wanna say
You make me pay for all the fake charades
But I can dance through a verdant maze
You waste your prime to take my time
And you choose to lie all day

DON’T TELL ME YOU THOUGHT OF ME
DON’T TELL ME YOU FOUGHT FOR ME

Hey, if you wanna hide in the shadow of doubt
You gotta fix your heart
Gotta figure it out
You gotta look like you wanna believe
But this lean you tried on me, put me in disbelief
Go find some other shade

DON’T TELL ME YOU THOUGHT OF ME
DON’T TELL ME YOU FOUGHT FOR ME
I KNOW
I KNOW YOU TRIED

But you choose to lie

I’ve never felt this soul-destroyed
Blindside across my head to fill your void
You woke up an auroch, I know you won’t forget it
The earth signs won’t hurt you
Well, at least they won’t say it
But we’re just gonna observe you today
We’ll dish out redemption one day

That’s on you

So next time don’t cut that damned cloth so soon
I’ve been a blind betrayer, too
Listen for love and really follow through
If you don’t, you’re only cutting your throat

“Answer the call while you can still hear at all
Because nobody will if you won’t.”
