The Blindfold

[Verse 1] The creek keeps carrying the same dead branch downstream, I've watched it pass a hundred times, or so it seems… I shake it off, it’s just another case of deja vu, I don’t believe it otherwise, anything else is just untrue… Think about it, life is all about coincidences…right? …Right? [Hook] There was a crow pecking out a rabbit’s eye, Yesterday my friend told me they wanted to die. Everybody keeps saying that I’m reading way too deep, But even in my dreams, the same endings are on repeat. I close my eyes but the third one keeps trying to see, I scream out to the world, “This is not who I want to be”. I want to be normal, so I’ll keep the secret to the grave, I’ll keep denying it, no matter who or what I could save. [interlude] (Puttin’ on the blindfold; the blindfold; blindfold (fold) (Puttin’ on the blindfold; the blindfold; blindfold (fold) [Verse 2] The dogs just won’t stop barking at the house next door, Do you think they also hear the heart ‘neath the floor? That beating, the steady pulsing, I heard it all…until it stopped… Then the neighbor called, a child’s voice, crying ‘bout how his dad just dropped. But just because I saw it in a dream doesn’t make it magic…right? It’s just because life is wanting to be tragic…right? ….Right? [Hook] There was a crow pecking out a rabbit’s eye, Yesterday I saw just how my friend would die. Everybody keeps saying that I’m reading way too deep, But even in my dreams, I see who's next for death to reap. I close my eyes but the third one keeps trying to see, I scream out to the world, “This is not who I want to be”. I want to be normal, so I’ll keep the secret to the grave, I’ll keep denying it, no matter who or what I could save. [Bridge] I am not a prophet, I am not moses, This is not real, this must be psychosis. I am not some type of witch, they cannot burn what doesn’t exist, …Is this just karma gettin’ back at me for all that I dismissed? No, it can’t be…as I said, life is just about coincidences…RIGHT? RIGHT? SOMEONE TELL ME THAT I’M RIGHT. [Hook/Outro] There was a crow pecking out my own eye, Last night I watched exactly how I’d die. Everybody keeps saying that I'm reading way too deep, But now I'm scared to close my eyes and fall asleep. I close my eyes but the third one won't let me leave, It keeps showing me the one thing I refuse to believe. I wanted to be normal… So I buried all those warnings that were meant for me… I so desperately wanted to be normal… So I chose to keep the blindfold on.
