Always Clouded, Never Clear

Set aside the blinds, that cover the world outside
We'll never see enough in this life but it's worth a try

You've got a tempered mind
But I'm not far behind
I'm trying to keep my sharp tongue wrapped up inside
I think about consequences so dire
And I'll find a way to speak eloquently
But for now I'll stay quiet
I'll stay quiet

I don't want to remember my time on this earth
Wasting nights watching the world burn
Oh what if we changed our ways?

Don't you feel your wonder fade?
As you repine, sit in complacency for days
And although you won't, I hope you choose to seek a journey of your own
There's so much more perspective to life that you may never know
But you gravitate to small minds like a moth to flames
Your head's your home
Oh don't you know?

(Ooh)
Why sit in shadows when the sunlight warms your bones?
(Ooh)
Why does an open mind make you feel alone?
