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 devour 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? You tried to take me to an evil place But i slipped right through your human hands Lack of repentance was the reoccuring clue History of contention points the finger back at you 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?
