Blind Eyed - Ren, Sam Tompkins

This lighter don’t work, no

No flame to spark my goal

My Nike’s laced in dirt, oh

I’ve ended up treading on my own soul

My headphone’s only working on the left side

But I try to live the right life

My eyes wide and I strive

To stop my demons gripping, ripping from the inside

This road is dark and I can’t find the batteries for my flashlight

I’m blind eyed and I’m tired

These drugs don’t work

The pain, it takes control

A blood-stained shirt

I feel like I’m always being chased by the devil

I tried to talk but I can’t seem to get my spoken words right

And I t-t-t-t-t-t-try to keep my stutter light

And this life it can be ish right, cut you like a flick knife

Twist and make you sick right

And I think, maybe I’ll be better off alone

So I redirect the calls from my phone

I learned so many lessons from depression

But in essence, I’m just wishing that these bad thoughts were gone

(I'm blind eyed)

(I'm blind eyed)

(I'm blind eyed)

Sometimes I bleed, sometimes I crawl

Sometimes I slip, sometimes I fall

Sometimes my back is up against the wall so hard

That whole building could fall

Sometimes I bruise, sometimes I break

Sometimes I’m true, sometimes I’m fake

Sometimes I’m hoping for a moment

When the floor would just start opening

And swallow me for goodness sake

I think I’m gonna break 'cause I ache

And it’s bait I’m awake in a world full of pain

Superman no cape and I’m pressing the breaks

But the breaks, they break

And I’m driving my universe into a lake

And the weight, the weight of the world, don’t wait

We make mistakes when it’s all at stake

We cook out cake, we eat our cake

Sometimes no time for double takes but

(That's just the way life goes sometimes)

But I don’t want to end up in the gutter

Being battered by my troubles

Face down in puddle where the sun don’t shine

So I’m coming and giving it back

Upon the track and attacking 'em

Stacking up beats like I did with this one I pack it in

And I’m praying, oh lord, take this pain away
