Nuckafternamos - blinding lights Lyrics

Can't you see
The blinding lights
They'll show you all
But take your sight
The more you know
The more you cry
The blinding lights
Surround your eyes
I woke up today
I was staring at my ceiling
The feeling i got when I looked in my mirror
Was terror
A tear fell down
And the mirror got clearer
I don't recognize myself
And my fear got nearer
Can you hear me
Cause I'm just trying to make it by
But as I keep on growing more
I find it hard to use my eyes
Well, who wouldn't want to know it all
Even at a price
The more that you succeed
Comes with a side effect of blindness
Can't you see
The blinding lights
They'll show you all
But take your sight
The more you know
The more you cry
The blinding lights
Surround your eyes
Can you hear me
I'm just trying to make it by
I remember the days that we were we
But that was all a lie
My visions jaded and my eyes and lungs burn
Looking at me elated
But you look at yourself hated
You look at me and think I'm blind
But really it's you that can't find
The reason why you continue to bind
Yourself to people of my kind
I'm gonna keep on shining
Long after the silver lining
Has faded into nothing but a lining
I'm gonna keep on shining
I know I'm gonna keep on shining
I woke up today
I was staring at my ceiling
The feeling i got when I looked in my mirror
Was terror
A tear fell down
And the mirror got clearer
I don't recognize myself
And my fear got nearer
I woke up today
I was staring at my ceiling
The feeling i got when I looked in my mirror
Was terror
A tear fell down
And the mirror got clearer
I don't recognize myself
And my fear got nearer
Can't you see
The blinding lights
