Blindfolds - Driveways

I saw the ghost of Christmas past

He said four or five of the memories that we go through won’t be bad

But stay fortified from the mental grief when the fifth one takes you back

Don’t ignore the lie that your mind made up when you glossed over that night

Don’t look past the reflected shine

Falsehoods feel nice

But there’s more to life when you don’t obsess with an outcome you despise

And there’s more inside of your fucked up head than a past that’s been contrived

Somewhat glorified, embellished, every blemish cast aside

But you’re dead if you don’t try

I can’t commit the perfect crime with my eyes closed

So if you can’t bear it fine wear a blindfold

Every accident or vice will come back to haunt you twice

You can’t sacrifice your life if you die slow

Idols fall down

I looked in Jacob Marley’s eyes

He said five or six of the knives you stick in your face will scar you blind

Your inviolate but your mind was tricked by a painted scarlet sky

False environment’s got your eyes convinced there’s a vacant heart inside

Don’t put stake in a harmless lie

Deathbeds feel nice

But there’s more to see than the morbid scene that you conjured up last night

Dark abhorrent things in a horrid dream that you had can’t write your life

Every chorus screams a message with a deafening reply

Stop these terrors in the night

I can’t commit the perfect crime with my eyes closed

Get back, look out from underneath your blindfolds

Step back, walk through the fire on this tightrope

Steadfast, pull out the knife and seek reprisal

False idols die slow

Idols fall down
