lyrics

I try to lie that I'm not blind
But all my eyes can see is my own light

And I left to Heaven as a deaf
When I accepted emptiness

But I've had fun being so numb
So dumb to think that I could shun

That I was in a higher place
A safer place, a better place

You think that you're so smart?
I guess so
You think you've come so far?
I think so
You think you're so much better?
I thought so
You're just like how you started
I know

I was blind, but now I see reality
I can't block out the shouting from my mirror anymore
I feel the shame, the strain, the pain, I feel the rain
But now that I can see and hear and feel what's real
I smile because I'm free

I'm in a better place
