Blind
Revelation in Darkness: Unveiling Life's Struggles and Redemption
Lyrics
Spending nights out on the road
Expressing a lifestyle of being frequently on the road.
Avoiding debts I owe
Avoiding financial obligations and accumulating debts.
I keep adding to them daily just to run off once again
Continuously adding to debts to escape responsibilities.
Drinking numbs the pain
Using alcohol to numb emotional pain.
Or at least it clouds the brain
Alcohol may provide temporary relief or cloud judgment.
So the liquor that'll kill me seems like a long lost friend
Viewing lethal liquor as a comforting companion.
Seeing you caught me off guard
Being caught off guard upon seeing someone significant.
The time alone has been too hard
Struggling with loneliness during time apart.
And I stumble on my words
Difficulty expressing thoughts with grace.
Without a single ounce of grace
Fumbling in communication without elegance.
Assuming you could read
Assuming the ability of the other person to understand.
The desire and the need
Recognizing desire and need through desperation.
In the look of desperation painted all across my face
Desperation evident in facial expressions.
I know what you want to hear me say
Knowing what the other person wants to hear but struggling to say it.
Praying that the words would set me free
Hoping that spoken words will bring freedom.
You know it'll never go that way
Realizing that the desired outcome is unlikely.
Cause when your in the dark
Highlighting the insight gained in darkness.
Only the blind can see
Only those blinded by circumstances can truly see.
Forgive me what I said
Seeking forgiveness for spoken words.
Take this broken man to bed
Inviting someone to offer solace to a broken individual.
Cause if you don't there's no one else who will
Emphasizing the importance of companionship in the absence of alternatives.
If I can't make things right
If unable to fix things, opting for a farewell.
Then I'll just say good night
Bidding good night if unable to reconcile.
Wander out into the night
Wandering into the night seeking a place to rest.
Find someplace to lay my head
Searching for a place to lay one's head.
Please shine your light on me
Pleading for guidance and enlightenment from someone significant.
Only then will I be free
Freedom is only attainable with the light of understanding.
Maybe the day will come
Anticipating a future where a transient lifestyle is no longer necessary.
Won't be living on the run
Envisioning a life without the need for escape or superficial pleasures.
Won't be looking for my fun in a bottle or a bed
Foreseeing a time without reliance on substances or fleeting connections.
With no more drugs to take
Absence of substances and apologies in a transformed life.
No apologies to make
Freedom from the destructive tendency is achieved.
And my bent on self destruction is finally laid to rest
Hope for an end to self-destructive patterns.
