Nearsighted

Isn't odd how we believe our senses so quickly? I'm a contact wearer and i love them, but how much do they really fix? I can't see what i really need to see, i cant see beyond the moment, I'm bound to time. That's what sight really is, being able to see beyond the moment. Can you imagine, you'd be able to avoid the pain, reach for the greatest joy, never make the wrong choice. "They have eyes but dont see, ears but dont hear..." How much can we truely rely on our senses? How many times do they have to let us down? Reality is not always as it seems, although i never seem to believe my own statements. If only i could remember that life is lived for more than a moment. This song was birthed out of that idea.

Nearsighted

Too close to see anything

Dont care what it brings

I hate it but i love it

Want the race, hate the aftertaste

Looks alright from far away

I think the voice is gone for now

I'm back again to taste this fruit

Aint got nothing left to fear

Myopic* eyes

Believed the lies

My opaque eyes

Decieved by lies

Just one of those times again

It all seems to fade away

Hindsights always so clear

Can only imagine if i hadn't of stayed

My ears hear no more than i choose

Blinded by my own 2 cents

My eyes close to see only me

This moment's lived just for a kiss

Decieved by eyes, once again

Believed the lies, I'm here again

Myopic eyes

Believed the lies

My opaque eyes

Decieved by lies

*Myopic-unable to see clearly things that are far away
