Blindfold

With ease, I put the blindfold on
I squeeze the breaks and tell myself hold on
Withdrawing from the path meant in the past tense
I was bent on excelling and perfecting my pen
Time lapse, fast forward, four or five years passed
Struggle to revive my drive
And I refuse, to look at my life right in her eyes
I'm a mile high prior to the sunrise
At night, I get scared of the dark and so I stay in my cave
And I stare at the stark illusions made of shade
Being drawn then erased
Fueled by a raging fear of facing my fate, but still I'm aging
Truly I'm aware it's a farce
I swear I'm aware, not that you'd care
But when dared to embark and meet the world head on
I just sit back, and put my blindfold on

Gonna roll myself a j, kick it back for a while
Desires burning bright in my eyes I dim the lights
Gonna roll myself a j, kick it back for a while
Desires burning bright in my eyes I dim the lights

Time flies, but I forgot my wings
I hear God only gives em to angels and kings
I've walked in the dark, led by the string of my heart, played my part
But here's the thing, I've been
Blind behind the mask, time to face the task
Drop the flask, free myself from this prison of the mind
Say goodbye to the past, now the present to unwrap
Had enough of the dark no longer scared of the light
Desire to thrive, reach for glory, driver of my own story
Peak out of the cavern, forget the allegory
My shadows to govern, so shallows my fear, so stubborn
Tomorrow is near, take a turn and steer clear of the burn
I know the path seems narrow, but the end could be near
So don't get fooled by the shadows in the rear-view mirror
I see clearer, finally peace of mind
So I leave the cave and the blindfold behind

Gonna roll myself a j, kick it back for a while
Desires burning bright in my eyes I dim the lights
Gonna roll myself a j, kick it back for a while
Desires burning bright in my eyes I dim the lights

Always in a hurry so we call it the human race
Always running to reach the fleeting feelings we chase
A lifelong dream, a relentless pursuit to reap the ripe fruit
But no one ever sees the roots that made them destitute
Deeper into the earth they sank
Often felt like they were soaking in a septic tank
But I'm skeptical. Is there a ladder out of the shithole?
Cause down in the cesspool, a flower will never be able to bloom
It needs water, but all I got is pouring pain
Left in the dark too long, it's forgetting the sun's rays
It needs to get away, wishes it could stand up and start to pace
Sometimes thoughts are tied to a certain place
But it can't, cause it's like a tree, stuck in its ways
So it stands in a bland field with its blind fears
Cause through the blindfold, no one can see the tears it sheds
Waiting for better days

Gonna roll myself a j, kick it back for a while
Desires burning bright in my eyes I dim the lights
Gonna roll myself a j, kick it back for a while
Desires burning bright in my eyes I dim the lights

Gonna roll myself a j, kick it back for a while
Desires burning bright in my eyes I dim the lights
Gonna roll myself a j, kick it back for a while
Desires burning bright in my eyes I dim the lights
Gonna roll myself a j, kick it back for a while
Desires burning bright in my eyes I dim the lights
