Blind
The Grapes Of Wrath Lyrics

I thought the time had come for me to find myself
I believed it was time for me to discover my true self

And take what I could take
And to seize every opportunity that avails itself

You thought you'd found yourself a dream that wouldn't end
You had the impression that you found an everlasting dream

The moment you awake
Until you woke up

I don't want any strings, you'd say to me
You used to tell me that you do not need any commitment

Again and again, somehow I still believed
Even though you repeated yourself, I held onto hope

That even while I was reading you between the lines
Despite trying to read between your words

I could see me running blind
I still could not see the future and headed blindly

I spent too many of my days too far away
I regret spending so much time far away from your side

And felt the toll it takes
And I experienced the negative effects it had on us

And only learned how much you're capable of pain
I realized how much pain you could cause

And who's the first it breaks
And who suffers the most when it happens

I've had too many strings, you'd say to me
You confessed to having too many attachments before

It hurts too much to break them when the feelings leave
It pains you to cut those ties when feelings cease

Much as I thought I'd met the problem eye to eye
Despite thinking I faced that problem directly

I could see me running blind
I could still not see the end game and continued oblivious

I guess where you're from, dreams have little mystery
Perhaps, in your world, dreams are not mysterious

They make them every day
They achieve their dreams every day

It seems a whole lot simpler than reality
It appears much easier to comprehend than the reality

And starts to feel the same
And becomes monotonous
