Blindfolds

Anything you run from
Will eventually catch up
No matter if you're not looking at it or not
It will always stay a problem
Fuck

The Silence was to hard to bear, cause
I've been living in a constant fear
As time ticks by I wonder where my saviour is it must be near, or
Will it never come for me?
I did nothing wrong in company of other people
I can't believe anyone would arrest me honestly
So why did they hunt me down?
Have I done something unjustly now?
Crying on the ground as they just beat me down
Without a reason or is that unfound?
Is it treason if you leave your home for your belief, or
Is it a reason to be whisked away for low fees?

Blindfolds around
Better not see what's going on
Being blind is not wrong
I can pretend it is gone away

Darkness, all around
Rifles, ring aloud
Blindfolds, give our minds
The opportunity to run riot
With our imagination
Getting ever closer to our final destination
I can ask down to the maker what plan
He was destilating in that brain of his
Will I ever be able
To tell my son another tale or
Will this train be the final nail in
The proverbial pine box?
I am not able to live with myself If I can not think freely
They will have to fuckin' break me or go through me

Blindfolds around
Better not see what's going on
Being blind is not wrong
I can pretend it is gone
Blindfolds around
Better keep them on
Or we will not see the light of day again
So better keep them on

The blue skies
Of my home are far behind
Bars and wire
That keep my head glued inside
Hopefully I can bide my time
So I could feel the sunshine
And view those skies again
As a free man
But moving clouds of caustic lies
They have made toxic rise
In the nation and in the publics' eyes
We have been demonized
As tonight is the night that I could die
I dream of a better world for my child
I dream of a better world for my child

Blindfolds around
You better not see what's going on
It's not wrong
I can't pretend
Blindfolds around
Better keep them on
Or we will nah not see the light of day again
So better keep them on

Imagine, a time and place
Where our minds could take shape (Keep them on)
Without violence or hate
Now what would that take? (Keep them on)
Is it so difficult
To give each other space? (Keep them on)
We're not different at all
We're all the human race (Yea)
We have been doing great
These last decades (Keep them on)
So why are we now
Giving up and turning tail? (Keep them on)
It takes no effort to make someone's day (Keep them on)
And even less to not take it away (Yea)

You know, what's weird is is
When you finally realise that something is wrong
And someone else acknowledges that
It's it's like the whole world has changed
Without anything actually being different at all
You, no one is as shocked as you are just merely surprised
You see yourself change you know
Logically you know you haven't changed at all
But still it's weird to see people
To see yourself in the mirror
You disassociate with yourself
How can how can I be myself if I don't recognise who I am
It really puts into perspective how powerful and fragile our minds can be
We don't realise this at all
That shock which shatters you to your core
I still look in the mirror sometimes and see a stranger stare back at me
