I Once Was Blind - Bane

Welcome to the day that you opened your eyes

So wide that it nearly took your life away

And you are finally seeing all the things

That you have been missing

Could it really be that you have been so blind

Or just merely looking the other way

Today the world comes into focus

And the hardest truth that you have ever known

Grabs you by the throat

There never was a light at the end of the tunnel

The tunnel you have been trapped in all these years

And one simple answer cuts down all of your questions

And two and two suddenly makes five

And it’s a revelation that you can no longer hide from

You are falling, sinking, drowning, burning in lies

(There is nothing left for you to hold onto)

You’ve found the landmine with your foot

And your world is about to flip upside down

Falling lower than you’ve ever been

You will have to fight to ever get up again

It’s uglier than it’s ever been

This World

But it’s yours now and you finally know

What you are up against

It’s up to you to take it

This World

You stick out your tongue and taste the rain

Because there will be no going home again

This is the hollow point

The truth that you’ve been searching for

All these long years

All the horror that you’ve uncovered

With you now and forever more

The bullet that tears right through you

Leaves you broken

Scarred for life

All the lies that your teachers told you

All the things your parents said

Soaked through with gasoline

Gun shots echo through your head

This world will run right through you

This world will run you through
