Teardrops of sorrow beating down upon my chest
From never knowing the true meaning of success
Genius and a rebel are the ways that you're perceived
But how could anyone be so utterly deceived?How could I have been so blind all this time?
How could I have been so blind all this time?
Now that all the scales have fallen from my eyes
How could I have been so blind?Words full of knowledge, lacking wisdom were just lies
Actions representing the very things that you despise
Self-deception fills you in the final hour
Holding back the wall of fear that threatens to devourHow could I have been so blind all this time?
How could I have been so blind all this time?
Now that all the scales have fallen from my eyes
How could I have been so blind?You tried to take me to an evil place
But I slipped right through your human handsLack of repentance was the reoccurring clue
History of contention points the finger back at youHow could I have been so blind all this time?
How could I have been so blind all this time?
Now that all the scales have fallen from my eyes
How could I have been so blind?
