Blind Eyed (Live) [feat. Sam Tompkins]

This lighter don't work, no

No flame to spark my goal

My Nike's laced in dirt

I've ended up treadin' on my own soul, no

Yeah, my headphones only workin' on the left side

But I try to live the right life

My eyes wide and I strive

To stop my demons grippin', rippin' from the inside

This road is dark and I can't find the batteries for my flashlight

I'm blind eyed and I'm tired

These drugs don't work

The pain, it takes control

I got a blood stained shirt

And I feel like I'm always bein' chased by the Devil

Go, go, go, go, go, go

I tried to talk, but I can't seem to get my spoken words right

And I t-t-t-t-t-t-t-try to keep my stutter light

And this life can be shit, right, cut you like a flick knife

Twist and make you sick, right

And I think that (Maybe I'll be better off alone)

So I redirect the calls from my phone

I've learned so many lessons from depression

But in essence I'm just wishin' that these bad thoughts were gone

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes I get these times when it's like time works against me

In my mind, I kind of mind, yeah, that my mind can torture me

But I rhyme 'cause when I rhyme it's like these rhymes can set me free

I shine so bright, I shine these times these rhymes come out of me

Sometimes I bleed

Times I crawl, times I slip, times I fall

Times my back is up against the wall

So hard that the whole building could fall

Times I bruise, times I break

Times I'm true, times I'm fake

Times I'm hoping for a moment when the floor

Would start opening and swallow me for goodness sake

And I think I'm gonna break 'cause I ache and it's bait

I'm awake in a world full of pain, Superman, no cape

Pressin' the brakes but the brakes they break

And I'm drivin' my universe into a lake

And the weight, weight of the world don't wait

We make mistakes when it's all at stake

We cook our cake, we eat our cake

Sometimes no time for double takes but

(That's just the way life goes sometime)

But I don't want to end up in the gutter bein' battered

By my troubles, face down in puddle where the sun don't shine

I'm comin', givin' it back upon the track and attackin' 'em

Stackin' up the beats like I did with this one, I pack it in

And then I'm prayin', oh, Lord, take this pain away

I'm blind eyed, I'm blind eyed
