The Blind One

I was a kid stumbling through
This thing you grown-ups call youth
And I had clenched in my palms
This thing I used to call truth
Spent my days dancing to
The melody of the wind and rain
But somehow, I don't know why
My peace just caused you pain

And I tried to keep up with you
But I always turned up late
I tried to walk alongside you
To fulfill my given fate

I used to gather stones
And build bridges over water to land
But you told me to put them on top of each other
And build walls with my young hands
So I smiled and bowed my head
And sat nicely in your knees
And I tried, I tried my very best
But you're so god damn hard to please

And I tried to keep up with you
But I always turned up late
I tried to walk alongside you
To fulfill my given fate

Don't really mind
To watch just from behind
The best of luck to you
And the fool you'll turn into
And I don't really care
I just wanna rest and lay down here
These grounds belongs to me
Your the blind one, can't you see?

Fingers playing strings
A new world enters my mind
And I'd gladly let you in
If you'd just try, try to be kind
False voices and empty words
About futures that are carved in stone
If this is how it's gonna be
I tell you, I'd rather walk alone

And I tried to keep up with you
But I always turned up late
I tried to walk alongside you
To fulfill my given fate

I don't really mind
To watch just from behind
The best of luck to you
And the fool you'll turn into
And I don't really care
I just wanna rest and lay down here
These grounds belongs to me
Your the blind one, can't you see?
