I once was blind
by Bane· from It All Comes Down to This
Welcome to the day that you opened your eyes So wide that it nearly
took your life away And you are finally seeing all the things That you
have been missing Could it really be that you have been so blind Or
just merely looking the other way Today the world comes into focus And
the hardest truth that you have ever known Grabs you by the throat
There never was a light at the end of the tunnel The tunnel you have
been trapped in all these years And one simple answer cuts down all of
your questions And two and two suddenly makes five And it's a
revelation that you can no longer hide from You are falling, sinking,
drowning, burning in lies (There is nothing left for you to hold onto)
You've found the landmine with your foot And your world is about to
flip upside down Falling lower than you've ever been You will have to
fight to ever get up again It's uglier than it's ever been This World
But it's yours now and you finally know What you are up against It's
up to you to take it This World You stick out your tongue and taste
the rain Because there will be no going home again This is the hollow
point The truth that you've been searching for All these long years
All the horror that you've uncovered With you now and forever more The
bullet that tears right through you Leaves you broken Scarred for life
All the lies that your teachers told you All the things your parents
said Soaked through with gasoline Gun shots echo through your head
This world will run right through you This world will run you through
