Blinders

How many chances do we need to turn the tides?
Instead of living we’re just striving to survive
We’re all smiles (Ignorance is bliss!)
I don’t want to live like this
Don’t let them make your choices for you
They’re making choices that we can’t undo…
We saw the clouds roll in
They said there’s no storm within
Just watch the screen, it will be over soon
They told us not to take shelter from the rain
But then we wonder why we washed away
We eat up their lies, do what we’re told
We’re accustomed to a sugar-coated world
We’re so scared that things aren’t what they seem
We let those fucking liars tell us what to believe!
How many chances do we need to turn the tides?
Instead of living we’re just striving to survive
We’re all smiles (Ignorance is bliss!)
I don’t want to live like this
We tune in so they can feed us hope
There’s nothing wrong as long as we don’t know
We refuse to question because we’re scared of the answers
Our eyes are open, but we look away
We’d prefer to be distracted than see the world for what it is today
My eyes are open
My eyes are open
A gilded world is all I see, but gold can’t hide what’s underneath
