I Once Was Blind

Bane


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
