Blindside

The charade is over now
Still you are trying to hide it somehow
Am I wrong when I say a piece is missing
Inside is screaming you stay quiet
No one is listening
You're picking up a shell
No one will ever tell
The difference and so the indifference will come
This is how it's supposed to be for some
Now you're so sure that no one will come

You can't climb out of your empty box alone

Grab your hair but you can't lift yourself up
Still you're telling me to shut up
Don't you get fed up with your own pride?
Realize we're on the same side
You are not the first one
Who lost track of the sun
You can't see that now I know

Don't want to sound superior
but even though I know this is not a cave can't you see the light
I'll walk beside you tonight

It seems so clear today
Why not yesterday instant replay
There I go again without having anything to say

I don't lie everything I said to you was true
But still just words trying to convince myself of my position on the same level as you

Shut your eyes
Cover your ears
You can't see my eyes
Because my mouth is too wide open

When my mouth starts talking about everything I have and what I can bring
That is the proof for you that I have nothing

Force me to open my mouth
Again because they know I don't want to
Speak loud and make me feel like a boyscout
So hard to tell them you love them too
I can't give much if I punch back
At the one who hits first
Trying to make me feel ashamed
Because I'm touched
God help me see them
See my thirst

Tensed
But still so calm
Alright
Leaning on your arm
Beautiful spirit
Talk to me
Holy Spirit
Walk with me

They are liberated minds
I'm a narrow minded fool
Why must it be
That a discussion is about beating
My mouth will be
Closed if there's no one seeking

You know I'll be there
Love is so convincing
My words don't come out right
I will stay but not fight
Everybody believes in God
But no one believes in you
But I do...

I'm not ashamed

I used to be making future plans
As I would dance
At your funeral that's me
The superman I always wanted to be
Pretending blindness
I didn't want to find this
Something I left behind
But always with me
Somehow protecting me
Somehow trying to convince
This blind man to see

Blindside
What am I going to say
When you come my way
Blindside
What am I going to do
When you come through

Past present
How on earth did my lifestyle become this pleasant
Basically I'm this kite
Flying around in this great big night
Birdman feeling free
But my strings attached to the man below me
If birdman wanted to fly on his own
He would be a slave to the storm

What am I going to do
What am I going to think
What am I going to say
When I stand face to face with you
I will find the words
Anyway
What am I going to do
What am I going to do
What am I going to do
If I don't
Have you

Can I
I won't
Go on walking without

You kissed me on my cheek goodbye
But I didn't mean
Crazy it may seem
But to me you were never ever unclean
I know you know I am but even if it's slow
You're walking away
You think you are here to stay
Although your pride have grown
Legs taking you away
I wonder for how long you can take
That image you fake

Fingers in your ears
My lips are just moving
You don't want to hear

Taking and breaking the things
That is you and I
You ask for a goodbye
Want this part of you to die
Why do you have to wear that make-up?
I see your thoughts are screaming in my face
Shut up

You and I unseparable
Don't you know
I didn't come here to judge
You'll be free and I will make you whole
Those wounds must hurt
Let me clean you let me get rid of your bull
I'll make you full
That deep down emptiness I'll just blow away
Because no matter what they say
You will never be alone with me anyway
To feel pain ain't a sin
But it's when you're trying to cover it up
You hurt me within
I'll take one step
Can you take one too?

Come with me
Ride upon my shoulder why don't you
Don't you see
You can't fall down
When you're on my shoulder
You wonder if you must climb
To get away from the slime
Seeking its way in to your heart
But I know
Yes I know

You'll see this through
Come ride upon my shoulders I'll carry you, I'll carry you
You must fight alone
I've known you before you did
So don't play no charade

Breathe my air
Come ride upon my shoulders why don't you
Don't feel scared
You can't fall down
When you're on my shoulder
You wonder if you must climb
To get away from the slime
But I alone will lift you up
And hold you near my heart
Because I know

It is time
To leave you behind
I can take every drop of your spit
But it's when you do you see you don't fit
See me...
