Blindfold

My clocks broken but I hear the tick
I'm a magician but I dont have a trick
I cant take medicine even though Im sick
They say Im slow but Im quick

The windows closed but I feel the breeze
Im getting stung but there aint no bees
Im locked inside with a ring full of keys
A blind man is certain of what he sees

Out of the dark there comes a light
That darkens my mind; blinds my sight
Makes me see the black as white
I dont need wind to fly a kite

I hear music but I can never listen
To the words that shine but never glisten
Like shooting stars that have never risen
Out of the sky; an endless prison

Poison heals; a sweetened remedy
Its now a friend; never was an enemy
Its these things you keep telling me
The question is when will you begin to see

That green is blue and blue is always red
That no one listens to anythig youve said
You're talking to statues; theyre brain dead
Theye been vomitting all theyve been fed

That politics is a play and the worlds a stage
For nations to act and invoke the rage
Of corrupt directors; tryin to get thier wage
By making movies; thats thier golden age

The worlds a mirror; out to show us all
Whether you stand short or really tall
Just make sure that you dont take a fall
Cus youll fall fast and lose it all

I light a fire but it makes me feel so cold
I dont remember anything Im told
Im squeezing hard but I lose my hold
An alchemist; turning tin to gold

Im stranded in moments of my own time
Trying to come clean with a raging crime
I never commited; aint I sublime
Im losing it now; losing my prime

Im falling off the highest mountain peak
In a smoking fog; so black and bleak
My voice is so loud but I never speak
I am so strong but Im feeling so weak

Im falling into a chasm down below
I dont remember what I used to know
I wanted to stay but they made me go
So high up but I knew it was so low

So now Im stuck in a world of pain
Burning up under this freezing rain
Its this logic thats driving me insane
Im filled to the top with disdain

Im diving down into a raging sea
Trying to open a lock without a key
Im stuck in this like a cat up a tree
And all the while Im losing my dignity

Like when I lost something that I just found
I threw a ball up but it didnt fall to the ground
I feel the heart of a dead man start to pound
Like war drums; what an eerie sound

I go to war against my direst foe
Imma be high and he'll be low
Its myself; but I didnt know
Someone else will reap what I sow

Ive been running for hours but youre still there
You dont see me but I feel your stare
Burning into my skull; like a flaming flare
Its killing me but you dont care

What I need is what is causing me pain
Im in agony; happiness is what I feign
I hope for a reward from something without gain
Theres no tracks but Im on a raging train

Im tied to a mast in a sweltering sea
Deaf I am to the waves crashing on me
But I hear the sirens; how can that be
My bodys ties down but my minds free

Freedom is dangerous cuz I got no direction
To follow; but up ahead I see a section
Of people but wait its a reflection
Of me; of an infesting infection

I need a cure; some medication
For my disease; its called dedication
It gives me joy; puts me high in elation
In doing right; I have no hesitation
