Blind Eye

Location

It's so hard seeing from one good eye

Because that's the only eye you can go by

At least the only one you trust to guide you right

Can only see half as good through them dark nights 

Go that way! Go that way! Is what you may hear

But that's not the direction you initially steered

So you take your risk and continue down your path

While missing one eye you do the math

One good side one not so well

So you listen out for them protecting bells

In case you go too far you will always find home

But that still leaves your curiosity that temps you to roam

Like the blind leading the blind they always say

But I got one good eye that keeps me from delay

You move further and further down that path

The bells get lower and you feel an incoming wrath

You turn back but on the side of the blind eye

You only see darkness so you retry

You turn the other way but too far to see

So you start thinking but to a certain degree

Maybe I have gone too far maybe i should go back

But by that time you feel the detach

So you wonder off further down this path alone 

Not liking what you see the further you are from home

Oh keep walking stop being a baby

Who said that was it my blind eye maybe?

You want independence you want to be free

Who are you talking to because you're not talking to me?

Of course I am I already got you this far

I'm playing you like the notes for a guitar

I want to go home I'm kind of scared

Why you want to leave me after the good times we shared

I didn't know what was going on I am lost and so far

I mean I look in the sky and can't even see any stars

You don't trust me to lead you I surely disagree

How you going to lead me when you can't even see

I'm going back home this is a great distance we traveled

And I'm really starting to get graveled

Angry at who can't be anger at me

Remember I'm barely even useful I can't help you see

That you are right I only have myself to blame

Playing around with your childish games

Now i really wish I didn't leave home trying to explore 

My mom tried to tell me but I always wanted more

Let me turn around and retrace my steps

Maybe I can get home before I forget

It's so hard seeing from only one good eye

Because that's the only eye you try to go by

At least the only one you trust to guide you right

Cause if you follow that blind eye your future might not be to bright

I am zealous I will achieve

I don't follow what is behind me

I am not perfect I am not flawless

I may not succeed at one thing but I am a winner regardless

I try not to walk with my blind eye I try to walk straight

I have a personality that easily debates

I am upfront but simple and sweet

I sit in the front never taking a backseat

I am a leader I am friendly I am very talkative 

I try to keep things in perspective and be positive

Blind eye relates so much to my life

So easy to do wrong but better to do right
