Say goodbye, because it's all over now
I saw the light, became blind, and sewed my eyes shut.
There's no peace inside this throbbing chest,
I feel nothing but the sting of regret
My void of sanity is lost among death's vanity.
My eyes are closed and open to calamity.
Turning my life over to embrace the darkness.
Between the seams, I've seen the disease
That rots beneath the lifeless me in my dreams.
I'm so focused on making the wrong plans with idle hands
And I've got this feeling my whole life is ending
You can take my eyes, but you can't take my soul.
These strings will never harness my dreams
Of being martyred for the sake of my beliefs.
I'm yet another Chief of sinners, a member of the human race
I'm another of God's people to turn my back and run away.
Time and time again, I continue to prove
That mankind is jaded with a soul they're prone to lose.
I am but a blind man with idle hands, but here and now,
I promise I will see again
The scalpel on this table is starting to glimmer through my eyelids.
With every slide of the knife,
I will rectify my blindness through necessary bloodshed.
Even through the bleeding,
I am able to look upon beauty with relief
More so than the blind men who still cling to deceit.
My thoughts are clear, and there's nothing left to fear.
I'm one of the few men left in this room with crimson tears.
I still hear the all present voice telling me,
To tell the men trapped in this room that they are free.
Tear for tear, blood for blood, I'm not the only one.
I will escort freedom by the time my life is done.
The scalpel in my hand, takes on the significance of spit and sand.
A recycled miracle from a man living in heaven.
EYES WIDE OPEN.
